My '05 V215 Sanger is leaking in forward compartment; the area where the ballast bag lies. Every time I take it out I have to pump about 1 - 2 gallons of lake water out of the hold. At first I thought it might be water from the engine compartment running forward. I checked that out by plugging the waterway from the bow to stern to isolate the forward compartment. What's really strange is that the water appears even if I haven't filled the ballast that day. Here's what I've also checeked and eliminated:

ballast through hull intake.
hose fittings on fill and drain pumps.
Bow "Ice chest".


The boat is garaged so no chance of rain water being the cause.

I called Sanger today and they wouldn't put me through to anyone to help me troubleshoot. Instead they referred me to Kal Kustom, their Rep? Possibley becuase they do the ballast installations?

The only connections or areas left to check are the fill connection on the ballast bag, the drain hose connection to the port on the side of the hull, and bow winch eye. All areas which are pretty much inaccessible.

I'm dreading having to truck my boat up to Fresno to have them deal with this since It'll probably mean a month or more of downtime.

Anyone have any experience with this issue?
