Hello, About a year ago I bought this '99 2330 w/ 7.4l MPI and Bravo 3. It's been a great boat with no issues so far, until I noticed a little hole gushing water.
It's located in the engine bilge, towards the front, near the bilge pump. It looks like it has been there a while and might have been purposefully created by a previous owner. I noticed it on the first time out this spring when I opened the engine hatch while underway and saw water flowing out of it.
At first I was concerned that I was taking on water, but I don't think that is the case. I think the water was from me cleaning the interior and spraying the boat out.
My concern is that the hole is allowing water under the bilge and into the structure of the boat.
I was able to get a small tube in there a couple inches and pump out about a quart of water. I fear there is more water in there that I can't reach.
Anybody have ideas on what a hole like this is for or what I can do to prevent rot from the inside?
