Got the Pulsare out again this weekend. On the first ride a couple of weeks ago I had water dripping from under the dash, called the dealership and they said it could have been from washing the boat before the delivered it. I washed the boat myself yesterday before going out and know i didn't get more than a spray of water in the cockpit but when I was running on the water (only when I was running) I had a steady drip of water from under the dash again. Is this normal? doesn't sound right to me.

Do you have a water pressure guage?
if so, look at where the line goes into the back of the guage, that would be the only thing that could drip water from your dash that I could think of.

HOXSEY , JGREEN AND ROBERTS MARINE ARE CORRECT. THE ONLY THING UNDER THE DASH THAT MAY LEAK WATER IS THE SPEEDOMETER OR WATER PRESSURE GAGE. THEY BOTH HAVE COMPRESSION FITTINGS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE GAGE THAT MAY NEED TO BE TIGHTENED. SOMETIMES THEY WILL LEAK WHEN TIGHTENED TOO MUCH AND YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSION RING INSIDE THE FITTING. GOOD LUCK, SHOULD BE AN EASY FIX!! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

thanks guys, I had a look underneath this morning before I left for work. Couldn't detect any water on either of the nuts. I'll try to torque them a little first. I suspect the speedo because it didn't seem to read true and the amount of water seemed more than the little line to the water pressure gauge could produce.
