Am I missing drain holes in the bilge?
 
I just noticed that there are no drains from the under the gas tanks into the bilge. I'm not talking about the cockpit drains. I mean all the way down in the vee. Is that normal ? It's a 1998 35 Lightning.

Not supposed to be any there. Don't want gas from a bad tank leaking into bilge

So , if you get water under there you're stuck with it?

Subscribed.

I'm interested in seeing where this goes. I ran into a similar situation with a boat last year.

My 1990 has them , since yours is newer do you have a bilge pump under the step going into the cabin.

I would be more concerned with the hoses missing off the see strainer :)

Katanna, If you could see back further, you'd be really concerned by the lack of engines to hook to the strainers. (Actually, dropped them in yesterday.)

Ya, easy to see there are no engines in this photo, do you have a bilge pump under the step in the cabin.

Louie 06-02-2014 09:22 AM

There is a cabin bilge pump. but that is way too far forward for the vee under the cockpit.

Louie 06-02-2014 09:22 AM

Would someone take a look in their boat for me?
