Taking on water in V Berth

[bigdealsam]

I keep my 2012 R25 on a cable lift when not in use. Today, after a two week absence, I dropped her in the water. Within
3 or 4 mins I had standing water in the V Berth floor. After 10 mins I had approx 5 inches. Significant intake.

I recently had one of the forward stern thrusters serviced so my immediate suspicion is to look there first.

I quickly lifted her back up on the cable lift and the bilge pumps (both) ran for 10 - 15 mins with a steady stream.

We would appreciate any advice. TIA

Silly question, is the bilge plug screwed in? On the thruster, did they replace the shaft and prop assembly? That requires sealant.
Make sure you rinse down your engine and try to determine how hig the water went in the engine compartment. You may want to determine if water infiltrated wiring connections alternator and bow thruster motor. If your damage was caused by the work done they should be responsible if the damage is serious. If the issue is not their fault and the damage serious you may have an insurance claim.

Like Mike said check all of your electrical connections and do not neglect the shift solenoids on your transmission. Mine rotted away causing me to lose all helm control. No fun, and an expensive fix.
