Re: Aft well filling when running
Another problem on 30" transom Seacraft SF23's is the deck cap to the top of the bait well tank seal. Some of the boats I have observed including my own were lacking the seal material in this critical area.
The scenario goes as follows: bait well overflow seacock left open, heavy rain storm overwhelms the floor drains, dropping the overflow down to the point where it overfills the baitwell past where the seal should have been, filling the bilge. Bilge pump kills the battery. Well you know the rest.
If the seal is present, the worse case is a full baitwell.
