New Raven Owner

[Chadwicks]

Good Day everyone, I just purchased a 1988 Raven 190BR. 3.0 Mercruiser I have been goin over the boat and have found a few issues. The rear bilge pump is not working and I have a replacement from the local Boat store. My big question is there another pump in this boat ? There is a second exit hole on the port side while the rear exits the starboard. I have a to sort out some creative wiring under the dash but then hope get it on the water soon. Chad

Welcome
Post a pic of the 2 holes and see if one happens to be something like the fuel tank vent

this is the Port hole, you are right it could be a tank vent,

No not tank vent it would be close to fill cap and it's to low. If you have a sink or cooler that could be a drain

So it could be the ski area drain. Or there is a drain in the glove box too, was wondering if where they went if they did not go to the stern area.

Ski locker drains to the bilge. Bet there is a passenger side cooler in the console

Oh how cute that is a cooler...

Look under the console, should be a drain hose

Thanks, was curious about a second non working bilge pump. The good news is she runs smooth. Have to get replacement bilge pump and hope it not wiring. Looked up under the dash and cried. Someone as messed with everything. Sodder conections, horn is disconnected. The line to the rear is hanging low on the side. I have some work cut out for me.

So I was able to get the Raven in the water this weekend. Two weekends of work. So many more questions and projects.
