Water in starboard rear engine bilge

Post by RickieT »

Hadn't been to the boat in a week was working on another project with my port engine overheating. Did notice a lot of water in the starboard bilge closer to the bow if that makes sense. I have a 350 Mariner and there are 2 separate bilges on either side and 2 in the middle. This weekend I'm going to use a pump to get all the water out and see if there is a leak. It wasn't there a week ago and we have had a ton of rain...wondering if that might be it? All the other bilge areas are fine except for the bilge on starboard side closer to the bow right below the cockpit. Could rain accumulate in that one area if it rained heavy for a few days??? What should I check for after I get all the water removed?

Thanks!!!

Deck drain system, common issue with this model......you have to keep it clean.....I think if you do a forum search , there might be a few threads about the 350 mariner deck drains etc....good luck,easy fix..... :beergood:
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
