Default Re: Are these inherent problems 18' footer

I do not know the layout of this boat. From how im taking it the floor drains into the motor well which inturn drains thru the transome? The sell a ball scuppers that mounts on the outside of the transome that lets water out but stops it from entering. That should solve the water getting into the motor well. As for the livewell if its like the 20ft. you install a rubber bilge plug in the thru hull fitting. As for the bilge pump you should not have to access it while in use. Again not knowing the layout of the stern I would install a round deck hatch in the motor well area. I would buy the screw out rather then the pop in plates. THey seal very well and will stay sealing for years to come.
