So, when I surveyed my boat, the bilge gloat wasn't working. Had them out in a new one, but when they did, they removed an "L bracket" from the floor of the bilge in front of the old float to make way for the new one.
When I got it home, I noticed a little water in the bilge. When pump out the water, more comes in from these two holes on the floor. They say, "those holes shouldn't go all the way through to let water in. Well, water does come in. Of course, when I drop it off today no water (probably gummed up with Crap). Btw, the water would come in til there is about 3/4" of water down there then stop.
So, had boat in the water like this for a few weeks. What's the bottom hull construction like? Where could the water be coming from? They say they are going to just run some stainless screws down there with caulk and call it good. Could I see more problems down the road because of this? And what the hell was that L bracket for in the first place? I'll try to get a pick up.
