Show your Bilge

JasonBo · Jul 28, 2010

So im new to the entire owning a boat thing and there are a few things i would like to see and probably others that are first time boat owners. Like the bilge area for instance. The boat I have purchased seems to have had a few problems here an the batterys are kinda thrown in. I would like to see what other bilge areas look like. So post a picture of your bilge. Pulled my batterys on my new boat it just had rained an some water had gotten in there but got it recovered. Alot of cleaning to do now.

Here's my 2455. Still have to organize the wiring a bit better, but it's taking shape down there. It's gonna look like crap for a while this weekend 'cause I have to change out the trim pump and cylinders.

Re: Show your Bilge

Well here is mine. I am not satisfied completely with the way it turned out when I redid things this past winter. I like the general layout but not as happy with the finish I started much later than I had planned and did more so time was running out on getting it finished and on the water for planned holidays.
Look for an updated picture sometime early in 2011.
