Water in compartment when it rains?

[RonCat]

2014 Puma, rear compartment drivers side has got water in it twice when it rained. Yesterday had about a 1/4″ and it did not rain all that much. Thought Someone had posted previously fix but I couldnt find. Thanks, Ron

The compartment lid is probably not tight enough. To tighten adjust the latch.

Take brown paper bags and place in compartment, try to have the boat level as possible, flood the back deck with your hose, let the water drain for a few minutes then open the lid and see where its wet, but yes more then likely you need to tighten up the latch a turn or two, then try the above technique again with new paper bags to see if its fixed.

A hose may not be enough and check for any holes that may have errantly been drilled inside the lid area instead of outside the box itself. Also check any fittings for sealant.

Had the same problem with my 2014 Puma .Discovered that the white drain plumbing was seated fully due to the hole that the drain tube fits through into the bilge was drilled slightly off so that in order for the tube to fit through that hole the white drain was at a angle and not seated fully . My fix was to get smaller diameter tubing that fit easier through that opening and allowed the plumbing to seat correctly also used a generous amount of silicon sealant as well.

Thanks. Will tighten the latch and test next weekend. Other than that no issues and one very happy 2nd time kitty owner.
