Hi all,
I have a 1989 Sunbird Corsica 185. I'm on the waiting list at the local lake for a slip which would make the weekend boating process much simpler. It occurred to me that a ton of water drains out whenever I get the boat out of the water and pull the plug. Does that mean boats that sit in the water regularly eventually fill and sink unless they have bilge pumps? How do I determine if I have one, and if so, test it? Seems like the pump would also run through the battery pretty quickly if it had to run often.
Thanks,
Matt
