Drains in the fuel tank area?

[LukePrinsloo]

Got my boat today, nasty under all the covers...

The fuel tank area is full of nasty ass water. almost over the fuel tank. Looks like the lid needs a new seal. Is there a drain that may be blocked in here? I am thinking i may need to buy a small pond pump to drain this all

There is a plug in the engine compartment on the wall that seperates the fuel compartment from the engine compartment.. Its on the wall.. Take out the drain plug before u open it.

There should be a drain plug in the engine compartment I believe. There is on the 2015's.

There should be two drain plugs in your engine compartment. One that drains from the fuel area into the engine compartment and one that drains from there into the bilge. Make sure they are both open.

That got it, also saw my courtesy lights for the first time.

next challenge, my front railing is loose, how do I get to the nut to tighten it?

 

[Betik]

is it the stbrd side ? LOL
you take the cushion off and then reach underneath and between the hull and side cushion. Be careful not to break the electrical cables ( ie horn).
Also make sure you wear LONG SLEEVES.
I think it is either 12mm, 13, or 14mm.

@bronze_10 I got this one first.

 

[LukePrinsloo]

Yup. I'll tackle that tomorrow.
I had two rebuild kits for the cleanout plugs in my amazon cart but one of you shmucks ordered two before I could and now amazon only has one available...

off to bed, tried to find a guide on adding a battery to the boat as I only h ave one.

Sounds like I need a peako/pekso/pesko switch, a tray, wires to the switch for each battery. This should allow me to listen to music without fear of drainging the starter battery.
