HI guys, Can anybody tell me what the black (drain plug) if for in the cabin area on the floor in between the frig and the bathroom door? I have a 1998 vista 238. The carpet is wet in that area? Thanks Chris |

Drains the front of the boat to the back of the boat. If you have water in the bilge and you let off the throttle quick, the water will rush up front (getting things wet). The solution is to plug the hole, and install a small bilge in the front section of the boat to drain any water that gets in from the anchor locker. |

Ric, where would I install another pump? There is a black fitting in the drain, how would water rush back up? Thanks |

Chris, Forget what Ric's telling you he is miles of course. Assuming you are talking about this plug  It is a tube that runs from the bilge, under the gas tank under the rear double birth and finishes at that plug. As long as I had my boat I found no usefull purpose for it. Mine also leaked when I first got my boat. Make sure your bilge is dry, remove the plug, wrap some PTFE tape round the plug thread, replace it and forget about it everything will be fine. |
