This is probably a stupid question, but here it goes… The new hull has a solid deck and I assume is self bailing (two big scuppers in the transom)? Do I need to still install a bilge pump on the deck against the transom? Since there is no splash well I assume if I take a wave over the back of the engine why anchored up it would be needed? My Whaler (17’ Montauk) was also a solid deck/hull but it had a little area in the rear that was open were the bilge was installed, the Steiger just has a solid deck (it has a one of those round openings that is sealed to get to the through hull and the back of the transom) I don’t ever recall ever seeing a bilge on the deck. Any info/guidance will be appreciated
