i am relativly new to boating,i hav a 18foot cuddy here in ireland,
IF a wave came in the boat (bayliner 175)is there self bailing decks or scuppers or where does the water go?im very tempted to buy one of these
With a 175 the water would drain into the rear of the boat (in the engine bay) and there is a bilge pump which would empty it out. The pump is activated manually, but you could replace it with an automatic bilge pump.
