Really...you call yourself a fisherman? I just checked the reports page and I don't see nutt'in....so I guess I got to call

You might want to add a bilge pump counter to see if the bilge is filling up a lot while you are away. They are cheap and an easy way to get an idea about how much water is getting into the bilge.

Believe me, on the coast of Georgia there is a difference between boaters and fisherman even though both own boats. Boaters sometimes love to fish and fisherman love to cruise but the two are night and day. Ask anyone who has been buzzed off a good drop by a skier or even better a jetski.

Let me rephrase...as a FISHERMAN...you should get accustomed to water in you boat.

Roger that!

Water in the boat? Thats bad, you are going to have to replace the whole thing.

I know, I know, what to do with the old leaky piece of junk. I tell you what, I will haul it off for you, no charge. And just to be safe, you better get a new motor too. I will have to charge a small fee for disposing of the motor because of the HazMat involved.

[turbinedoctor]

Randle let me know if you need any help hauling it away. we can discuse the splitting of the profits like gentlemen.

FWB what kind of plug do you have in the bilge area, internal or external, brass plug or the old rubber type with the flip lever.

Mine was letting in some water during crusies and or fishing, which ever you want to call it, so I adjusted the plug to fit a little tighter and my leaks have stopped.

If you dont find the leak, you can consider it a bilge pump test when you step into the boat. If the pump runs and pumps,GREAT, if it dont NOT SO GREAT.

Moral of the story: is to use the situation to you advantage. Tell your friends you planned it that way and they will think you are the greatest thing to boating they have ever seen.
