Hey guys,
How often should your bilge pump come on? I know it shouldn't be as often as mine does. I'm taking water from somewhere and I can't find it. Mine comes on pretty much every time I stop for like a minute or so. I check the engine compartment and it's usually enough water to cover the transducer. I also check the center hole where the drain plug goes and its about to the top of "T" part of the plug pretty much every time I stop cruising. The bilge pump is doing a good job at pumping it out and I was able to stay out all day but what the hell? My boat is literally brand new with about 8 hours on it and the wake plate already doesn't work and the ballasts don't fill. None of them. I filled them just to test it out and they worked but then out of nowhere the pumps won't even come on now (the breakers are fine)...Also, the first time I took it out the speedo didn't work so the dealer replaced the paddlewheel. That fixed that problem but I think I got one of the boats from the factory that just has every possible problem. I did have a little freeze scare this winter but I took it in and they said it was fine. I ran it on the lake and couldn't see where any water was coming from. I imagine a cracked block would leak a lot and at least spray somewhere or there'd be a sign of a leak somewhere. I couldn't find anything. I'm hoping it's not cracked and the dealer just missed it. Transom and center plugs are tight and as far as I could tell it wasn't coming in the from the shaft. I dunno. I inspected pretty good when just sitting on the water with the engine off and couldn't see anything so I think its only when Im moving. Hard to tell. Any suggestions or anyone with these same problems? This is bullshit...It's a brand new boat. Is there any connections or hoses that get disconnected for winterization I need to be checking. Also, where are the freeze plugs on a 2014 Mobius? I looked at all the fittings and everything seemed fine. The dealer that winterized it said it was ready for the water...Just put it in and go he said. All I know is the engine seems to be running great but its taking water, the ballasts don't work, and neither does the wake plate, and Im pissed off.
