First -- request some education please. When one talks of water coming out of the bilge, where exactly is that water coming from? Is it in the hull itself? The engine compartment? Both? I ask -- out of ignorance -- because, my engine compartment and ski compartment are bone dry and I have only seen water come out of the bilge port a couple times over the years and none recently. However, once I get the boat out of the water and remove the stern drain plug, I get what I believe is an excessive amount of water coming out. Where is this water coming from??? How is it getting in the hull??? The drain plug gasket is intact and seats well. I always make certain the plug tight. Also, I have seen (twice) a large bilge symbol appear on the screen when power is applied. I looked through the owner's manual and cannot determine what this means. I can only assume it is bilge pump failure.
