I have a 2017 i14t. I have been using it in Florida for the past 3 months. Yesterday I deflated and packed it up for the first time. I decided to see if there was any water in the bilge and was surprised by how much water came out. How does water get into this space? I would think that the bilge should be dry unless there there is a leak in the bottom. I have not detected a leak in the air chambers. Should I inflate the bilge and look for a leak? How would I do that?
Thanks.

Inflate, wet with soapy water and look for bubbles that indicate a leak.
