The center T handle is a pain in the 20. You can always pull the rear and find a nice incline while towing. :)

I always drop a little dawn dish liquid in there?? Lol figure if it is going to get some water from daily activities and rain (my cover does a good job but always a little wet after hard rains) might as well clean it. Then I pull the rear plug and let it sit on a hill and drain out

Not sure what is different about my boat but I always have water in the subfloor. I have a 2012 A22 and to my knowledge it has a water cooled shaft seal. Everytime I go out, about 2-3hours after being out my bilge light comes on. Once I put the boat on the trailer and pull the T handle, water usually drains for about 10min.

I have a 2012 too @40oz and I have the same problem, even after putting Teflon tape and silicone around all the ballast fittings we went out the other day and pulled the rear plug on the ramp and it looked like the ballast draining, it was a 2 foot stream coming out of the back of the boat for at least 3 minutes. That's too much water to be coming out of the drive shaft. I'm going out next week just to look for the leak.

I've had my fair share of wakeboats and I've never had an issue with water in the bilge. In both my A22 and now my A24, I litterally remove my rear drain plug once a month at my boat storage which has a steep incline and not even half a cup of water has ever came out. I never remove the center plug but I do unscrew the access hatch and touch around to feel for water and I've yet to find any.

Keep me posted. We went out last weekend, didnt ride much, stopped and swam, kept the boat ancored, went to head back to launch and the bilge light came on. I think I may do the same....pull some panels and covers and look for the leak.

anyone know the best way to get a good angle at the dripless seal? I have bent all over the place and for some reason am unsure if im ever looking at it.
