Bought my boat about a month ago. My family and I are loving it, but I have a question about draining the boat after an outing. I understand that the boat will leak a little water from the drive shaft while running, but it seems that Moomba decided not to put a low point drain on the 03 LSV. The drain in the back is way too high unless you are on a steep incline.
I typically end up using the center ballast bag drain bilge pump to get most of the water out of the boat while lowering the front of the boat with the jack. Does everybody else have this problem or am I missing something? My buddy has a Malibu DD and he has a low point drain under the engine. Was there some reason why Moomba decided against a low point drain?
Also, the actual bilge pump is located to the right of the v-drive, if you are looking towards the back of the boat. I was thinking of moving the bilge to the front of the v-drive, seems to be a lower point. Anybody else done this?
