My "new" 2002 382 was just delivered a few hours ago. I am starting to clean it to my liking (eat off the bilge clean!) and have a few questions.

The 3rd center drain plug on the transom, what does it drain? I was spraying water in all 3 holes trying to free blockage and then later realized it doesn't access the bilge.

Under the step at the entrance to the cabin....it's NASTY under there. Does it drain if you spray water in there? There is a thur-hull for the AC intake and it looks like you can see the "foam-like liner" and it is submerged in the water that is stuck there.


I'm sure I'll have more questions but I'll start easy, thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Can't help with your question....

but this thread is useless without pics of your "new" 382 first!

OK, OK, OK, I don't have my own pics yet but here are the ones Magicfloat sent me. The paint job is different and looks pretty good in the pics, it look GREAT in person!

Center plug drains from under the matrix. There is also an expandible plug under the step in the engine bilge that will drain from forward. Sump under the step was nasty in mine, too. Scrubbed and sucked it out with a shop vac.

Enjoy the new ride!
