Default Re: 23 Self-bailing deck history ?

My 23 has 7.4 volvo with FWC and a douprop. If i pull the plugs the water will come in and out with the boat rocking. But it will not hold more than about an 1 inch. Would be nice if the deck didn't hold any water but the plugs work fine and it does not seem to be that big of a deal. I brought it up in another post and i seems like there is no easy fix. Friend of mine has a 2002 18 wellcraft fisherman cc that holds more water than that in the back. I've got a 2000gph and 1500gph bilge pumps. One on a float and one on a switch, both work good and i made sure bilge is free of any debris. I also installed a high water alarm that comes on just after the bilge pump does just in case a fwc line comes of and starts pumping water in the boat will im under way. A boat is a lot like a marriage if you don't take care of it, it won't last long!!!!!Oh ya and there EXPENSIVE!
