See "Finger in Hole" test. Replace scuppers with "ball in cup" design. Check all thru hulls on the trailer by putting all plugs and add water to questionable areas. Keep the hull dry and check for water trying to leak out the boat.
I have had my Bay 190 completely flooded.....several times..... with water and the outboard motor head never got wet as well as my batteries also function fine. Always keep bilge pump on "cycle" but if you have water coming in, it could run down batteries after 2-5 days depending on how much it is having to run.
Lastly, research all old threads in this forum.
Good Luck and keep us updated with what you find....it can help someone down the road!
