It's a mildewed sump
Where does it go? |
My '99 has a second sump pump there (in the cabin) that pumps out through the starboard side. My thought is that this sump is used to collect water that gets into the cockpit (rain or otherwise) and drains forward, depending on how the boat is trimmed. It also obviously gets rid of any water in the cabin that drains to the rear. Personally I think it's a great idea having two sump pumps in different but strategic locations. |
Have to figure out this whole sump and pump design...
when I finally see it wet
May just have to go look at the new models
There's no way I'd pay what they want though
Actually like the Angler with a 115
But they've got one listed in Crystal River for nearly $70K
And who knows how much more for a new 23 |

The sump and bilge pump issue is very simple. When the boat is on a plane, or stored bow up on the trailer, water runs to the aft, and bilge pump by transom, in sump, removes the water. When in plane bow is up about 5*, water runs aft.
When in the water at rest "level" or level on the trailer, water pools in the forward end of cockpit. You need to find out if there is a bile or sump pump inside the aft cabin bulkhead (between the cabin floor and cockpit floor)--in some boats (most likely the one you are looking at, included) there is a bilge pump under the galley all of the way aft. Where the sump in the photo you included is located is not the best place, but it probably was put there by the factory. _________________ Bob Austin

Thought that was how it worked
But had no idea to check for a pump under the galley
Thanks again Bob,

Gonna try to get it to the water tomorrow.
Saying there was a bad fuel line.
Wonder now how many more are bad.
Be interesting to see what they did do.

Won't have anything but non-ethanol in it again if I buy it
Real problem is the fact that it's 16 years old with only 179 hours |

Boat ran perfectly
Wasn't fuel line that was bad
But the actual pick-ups at the end of it
Cruiser ran out better than what I'd expected with a 75
25 at 4500 and 30 at 5000
And that was without the trim tabs to nose it down a bit |

Wondering what to use to lubricate the windows
With all this dry heat the past week they'd just about adhered to the slides
And the front window doesn't want to stay open
Is that arm such that it can be rebuilt?
Or does everyone just hook it to the roof? |

Signed the contract
Not really pleased with this dealer though
Told them I wanted the motor started before we left the lot
Salesman started it without the hose
just long enough for what water in it to exhaust
When we finally ran it at the ramp I
told the dude. This thing is idling way too high.
Looked over and the RPMs were over 1500
Thought the clutch dog was going to escape as he shifted it into gear |

Gave him a list of items I wanted done
Trailer brakes didn't seem to work
He didn't even bother to plug the trailer lights in so don't
know about them
Check both bilge pumps and wash-down pump
Clean the boat
Be able to show me how all this chit works on my third trip down
And I want another sea trial to make sure the idle is set correctly
Would really like to hear what y'all think might ought to be added |

Is there an escape clause in the contract you can activate and get out of it within a 24 or 48 hour or so "cooling off" period? (Depends on state laws, usually.) I'd activate it and void the sale and not resign it until he set things right, or probably not at all considering the non-professional nature of his actions so far. What's a dealer/salesman like that going to do after the delivery is complete and you have a problem with the boat? What kind of warranty are you getting? Any at all? Is this an "As is" sale? Sounds like the storm clouds are gathering and getting darker quickly!
Sounds like you've got a case of the "Hots to Buy Bug" so bad you're not thinking too carefully!
JMHO!
