This is my 1st BW and want to know if it is normal to have water sitting in the bottom of where the engine mounts and the 2 outlet drains are located. it's only about 2 inches and the boat is docked. I never noticed if water was still there when under way. The motor is a 2004 135hp Optimax salt water. Is this motor too heavy maybe? The boat seems to run great but that doesn't seem normal and I don't know enough about them. I would think the outlet holes should be above water. jflorey attached the following image: [94.93Kb] Edited by jflorey on 08/02/22 - 12:43 PM
