I am the new owner of a beautiful artifact from the past! Can't wait to post some pics - you would never guess it is 27 years old!
My question regards the bilge system in the boat. I launched it last weekend and I heard water burbling in before it was free from the trailer. Yes, I put the drain plug in. The sound caught my attention, but as a newbie, I didn't know what it was.http://forums.iboats.com/images/smilies/frown.gif The first ride was fine. I returned an hour later and when I pulled up on the trailer, water poured out of one of the ports on the back of the boat. Poured out. I removed the drain plug, and none came out from that area.
I do not understand the water pathways inside the boat at all. The bilge pump works (I can hear it when I turn the switch on), but why did water enter, where did it go, and is that normal? Should I plug that opening? I did not look to see if the live wells filled up or not.
I would appreciate any help/suggestion from those who are familiar with my boat or this matter. Thanks in advance! http://forums.iboats.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
