I just purchased a 2015 2574 GL Rear Fish. When I picked up the boat the center tune had a few inches of water in it. The dealer said it was from rain sitting on the lot with no cover and they had just pressure washed the deck and the kid got a lot of water in the storage area (the floor was wet so I know it was just washed and it made sense).
I can hear the bilge pump turn on underneath the rear livewell/rod storage counsel. I have seen a little water come out of the hole into the transom area so I know the pump works.
I had it out for the first time this weekend and couldn't get the water to transfer from the storage area to the rear of the center tube where the bilge pump is. There is a 1/2 inch hole in the bulkhead between the storage compartment and the fuel tank compartment in the rear of the toon.
I shop vac'd the water out when I got it home (about 20 gallons) and hope I don't get that much water in it again since I store it inside but when water gets in there I'd like to get it out with the bilge pump and not a shop vac.
Anyone else have a set up like this with the bilge pump in a different compartment then the majority of the water and a half inch hole to for the water to transfer through. Any tips on how to get the water to flow back to the pump other then leaving it on the ramp for and extended period of time?
Seems like a half baked design, why not put the pump where the water collects and not in a different compartment?
