Filled her up with water this morning and this is where I think she is leaking. What is this hood supposed to do and if I close it up will it hurt anything? No leaks from thru hull fittings.

I doubt thats your problem....that looks like a drain for your anchor storage. Sometimes filling the boat up its tricky to find a leak. If I had to guess I would say its a livewell pump thats leaking. Not the fitting but the pump itself. Try backing the boat down at the launch with just the stern in the water and open your rear hatch and look to see where its leaking.

That is the drain for your anchor locker. It shouldn't be connected to your bilge in any way, unless there is a hose between the locker and the drain hole that is broke or cracked.
You will need to find out how to get under your anchor locker. If you plug it off, the locker will not drain. That shouldn't be a problem. It don't hold much water.

Should have explained that I filled the boat through the anchor locker. What you see running out is from the hose but it ran all the way back to the transom too. Montauk, backed it down Sunday and never saw any water coming in through the livewell pumps.

Yep, Chosen Valley subdivision between Lake and Nelson on Ham Reid. I am going to plug that anchor locker drain hole with Permatex today, really think it is the problem.

If that don't work, holler at me, I have some time during the day to help out.
I don't know how that boat is made, but it sounds funny that water will get into the bilge from that outlet. But you never know.
