I am looking at purchasing a 2000 Montauk 17, I have looked at several of these and noticed the owners have installed a bulge pump in the area where all the cables and fuel line are located in the area before the transom pit. I thought these boats were self bailing? Thank you
There is a explanation of this at about the 11 minute mark of the below video review of a Montauk. Watch the video all the way to the end to see the self-bailing in real time. Leaving the transom plug in when underway or when moored will require the pump if the boat takes on water (rain or rough water).
