18 ft Sea Craft self bailing

[Travis Garner]

Tashmoo:
I have a 1986 18' that is self bailing and that drains just fine with water rarely remaining in the drain channels during normal operation. The boat has a 150hp 2000 evinrude and the scuppers include the flap that helps keep water from entering the cockpit.
The 18' SC is a great boat.

Hi Travis,

This is an '81 with 2 holes in floor that drain out stern. Water comes into boat if I unplug the holes. I have the flappers on the transom. Maybe they are old and not sealing. It seems to me that the deck is below the water llne and water is going to come in no matter what you do.

Jet heard about this low carb thing [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], the cable hole should be higher, mine would come in the scuppers if I had 2 guys in the back but not 1, of course I'm in Fla and the water may be a good deal warmer [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] all bilge access should be sealed in the slash well area.
