I already knew that my big bait tank in the back was one cause of the leaking, but I didn't think it was bad enough to cause as much water to get inside the boat as was getting in, and I was right. I plugged the weep holes at the deck level and filled the inside of the boat up. Sho nuff, it's leaking at the access panels on my deck as well. Got em both fixed. I bought a can of spray on ruberized sealant and coated the entire bait tank, let it dry and spray painted it. Next I went to Academy sports and bought two new valves for the self bailing deck. The little one way valves were worn out so by doing this, water won't be able to get onto the deck of the boat now!!!! I got er done and done right. I even cloroxed the inside of the boat and cleaned it real good. ONLY problem I have now is the GPS still won't work on the 997. That's puzzling right there.
