So are you saying when you pick it up from the dealer you have a dry bilge, but when you get home it has water? Or is it dry when you moor at your pier and overnight (so to speak) while just sitting still, it takes on water.

Guys, Sea Ray does not make their engine room vents completely water proof. This has been a complaint of mine for years. I’ve had a 225, 270, and now I have a 370. All brand new. Water will leak through the vents in a driving rain or when your washing the boat if you vigorously spray around them. For what we spend on these boats, you’d think they would design better vents. It’s stupid. Don’t believe me, go into your engine room and have someone close the hatch. Look around, you’ll be surprised how much daylight you’ll see. It’s obvious Sea Ray never intended them to be water tight.

My 2016 370 has cheap plastic catch pans that funnel the rain water back to a drain tube that goes to a scupper. But they are too small and shallow, so a driving rain or waves splashes the water right over them. Stupid heh?
