2023 195S

Need some help . Just purchased less than 2 weeks ago a 2023 195s. Can someone tell me if this is normal or if someone can take a picture of their engine bay . This is below the fuse panel rear wall and floor area of the engine bay . I started to clean the boat inside and out when I noticed this. Thanks

Hard to say - looks like they f'd up the cut the first time and got it right the second? That appears to be the wall between the engine bay and the exhaust portion of the boat. I'd say it's fine. You could complain but they'll probably tell you it's not hurting anything to have an extra hole there. If it really bothers you, you could glass it yourself...

That’s what it looks like someone messed up . I not concerned of the extra hole above the hose it’s the rectangular cut on the bottom . If it was free I wouldn’t care so much . If you look there’s like a bead of white silicone on both sides of the cut
It kinda odd as water can come through that opening defeating the need to silicone the sides . Do you have the same cut in your bay ?

I agree with the above mentions. You will notice weird “isms” the closer you looks. Watch for the shotty zip ties holding the cup holder drain lines in place. Guaranteed to fall off the first speed bump or pot hole your trailer hits.

I notice stuff like that now . I found screws and metal shavings. That’s expected.
I’m just concerned about that cut out if it’s going to be a problem down the road .

This makes me want to leave work and go look at ours to compare!!

I found several washers and screws that looked to be dropped in the bilge during assembly. Nothing seemed to be missing just “additional” hardware lol

Mine has the same hole, but do not the rectangular cut-out

 

[Vem2001]

Yes that ls “normal” leaving screws behind and shavings. It can create a problem .

You do look at the cut below the hose on the floor that’s the cut

You do look at the cut below the hose on the floor that’s the cut

Below the hose is smooth shaped fiberglass hole, no cut.

 

[Vem2001]

Ok yes you’re right . I looked at the side of the hose .
