The cure was closed cell foam blocks where installed in the cavity to displace the water ( around march 04 I think) since the foam weight is way less that water. Triumph sent blocks out to poeple like myself to install in the cavity and then reseal it. There are a few different ways to correct that problem that owners also came up with. I think that particular problem was corrected at the factory on late 2004 models and you will find a lot of owners like myself have made the mod on their boats also. I have a 2003 model and it only took me about a hour to install the materials from the factory and reseal. BTW the cavity is just a couple gallon open space made in the hull mold with a plate covering it and does not allow intrusion into the inner hull. The easy way to check a boat and see if it has had the repair is to shake it on the trailer by the motor bracket and see if you can here a sloshing sound. If the fix has not been made the cavity is open and allows the water to slosh back and forth and you will be able to hear water sloshing around.
PS do not stand in front of the bilge incase it comes on.
OH yea, a lot of the problems you hear are on older boats that have not had the a fix modification done to them.
