I have no drains, goes to the bilge!
I have no pumps, Just wait till i get home pull the plug!!

Was great last year when I had a leak in the hull!! :o Someone (not me) screwed a pump to the floor at one time and the screw rotted away leaving me wit a 1/8 hole, Amazing how much water gets in thur that small of a hole!! :o

It seems that the boat is in pretty good shape. I was supprised at how nice and clean the bilge area was.

I think overall it is a good boat........the Merc, I'm not so sure.

Mine self bails out the back.
One of the hoses is broken, so it drains into the bilge.
I think there are supposed to be ball check valves
in my deck drain hoses, but they are broken.
so, I keep corks in the rear hose exits and any water drains into the bilge.
I have a bilge pump that I run occasionally.
After last year when I forgot my bilge plug and almost sank the V,
I will not be caught without a bilge pump.


HAMMER, go take some pix for me, just kidding,
I just checked all my boat pix and I don't have any here.

I say we use the proceeds from this years fishing tourney to buy MJ a bilge pump before he ends up at the bottom of the sea.

I'll bet HAMMER would trade a bilge pump for a bracket ;) ;) ;D

The funny thing is I have 2 brand new pumps sitting on the bench right now, one is a 500 the other is a 1200.

There is no room for me to get them in the bilge, cause of the gas tank I added (25 gal) so I just go with out for the last 4 or 5 years.

What I need is a self priming pump that can go on th deck with a hose in the bilge, and hope that when I turn it on it can draw up about 10" and then spit it out.

I also have to wash down pumps that I have been thinking of putting in there, maybe that would do the trick??

But for now I have a hand pump and CB along for the ride, so as long as CB can pump thats how long we will float! ;D ;)
