Well I had a I/O and belive a self bailing deck is a must with them!! Nothing worse then having salt water splashing all over your engin!!
But wellcraft did not see that in the 1975 I/O, and all the water went to the bilge.
I was joking when i said I have no elet pump!! But I do need to replace the one I have.
This in my opion is the worse thing about my boat! But now that i have converted to a outboard, the problem of getting the engin splashed with water is fixed!
I have now added a 25 gal gas tank in were the engin use to be and still have to worry about keeping that dry. But Thank God the boat is a pretty dry boat and the only water i get is from pullinmg the anchor in or when it is raining all day.
