Fuel In Bilge, 1993 26 Thoroughbred, LOTS OF IT!
I went out today and filled up the boat for the first time since I bought it. WAS going to take it out for a run. Well, that thought ended when I was done filling it. I walked around the back and fuel was dripping out of the drain plug.
Are there any current or previous owner that have had this problem?
I know I should pull the floor and check the source of the leak, which I will do. But, just to help guide me in the right direction if this has happened to someone else, I would love your feedback.
Thank You,
Rodney

I am waiting to see how much fuel comes out before I pop the access plate in the floor. Only then will I be able to see if the cover provides access to the proper area needed for fuel lines and gauges, fittings etc.

I am headed out the door to take a look. If there are no more posts from me soon, will someone please come and sign for the full set of gauges and drive/trim indicators that I ordered?

The fuel pickup is under the rear seat. Should be a plastic acess panel there.Check to see if it is tight against the gasket.I had a 280 that leaked there when it was near full.Hope that helps.
