My new to me 1989 340 Express has a couple of issues. The water stinks when running the taps or putting water in the toilet bowl via the pedal. I obviously need to drain & refill & am unable to figure out how to do that
Also when I stand on the dock behind her she is listing slightly to the right. There is no water in the bilge & the fuel tanks have an equal amount of fuel in them. I read somewhere that someone with a similar problem ended up with a soft bottom & water got between the hull & inside skin. Is that a possible condition on this particular boat & if so is it safe to use as I really want to use it until season end & not have to take it out of the water right now. Aside of that are there any other theories, like the holding tank being on that side or something else causing uneven weight distribution or maybe just a characteristic of this boat{fingers crossed}
A full & detailed survey was done in April 2008 & everything was perfect except a few very minor repairs , which were carried out at that time
Am taking it out Sunday for our first ride & want to feel good & safe about it
Thank you in advance for your valuable input
