Re: New to boating, Should i be worried?
I agree with Shawsee - check to make sure you don't have a bunch of water in there by doing as he suggested. Also, I had a 73 model and it had 2 plugs in the back. One underneath the hull and another in the normal position. Its hard enough to remember one plug let alone 2!
The one underneath was one of those brass garboard styles and the other was the rubber kind that you screw and lock shut. Check that brass one really good to make sure it is sealed...you could be taking water around it (the female part that is screwed to the hull). Other than that, water 4" from top sounds pretty normal, while 3" does sound a little low. Did you have a bunch of friends sitting in the back on a bench seat?
What hp and yr model motor are you running? Pictures or more info would certainly help...if you don't know how to post them just ask and we'll help out.
