Thanks for all your input. I'm going to start thinking about an under skin project for this Fall.

Did you attempt any other fixes prior to the under-skin?

Yes I am the original owner of a 2013 24 slx. Calking was used by the dealer last season but he put it in front of the the flashing not directly on the cross member. I hate the thought of giving up the boat for two weeks this season.

Dealer put silicone on the out side of the plastic flashing last season. I think I'm going to do it myself this time. (Don't want to give him the boat for two weeks) . No I don't have the under skin but I think if I remove the flashing that's directly in front of the rib and calk the entire...

Dealer recommended keeping it down, said it's less of a strain on the pistons. I've had it down for two seasons now, and other than some growth by the end of the season it looks fine. When I get in the water to brush down the toons' I brush the lower section on the outboard.

2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd with tow package

Mine is on the replacement list, I was going to call in the morning for an appointment . Since it's not that bad and two years old I'll also wait and see what the 6 looks like.

Our chair is also too low, there is no up and down adjustment. We use our throwable flotation device ( pillow) to sit on. Or as I tell my wife, If you can't see just stand up.
