I read on page 2-6 in my Owner's Manual that my boat is self-bailing. I didn't know this and I'm relieved to know that the boat is self-bailing because it changes my thoughts and planning about leaving the boat at a mooring this summer. My boat has a 60 hp Mercury on the transom. The manual says that the boat will self-bail without the weight of people aboard. Has this been people's experience with the Sport 150 - that it does self-bail well enough that if I also cover the boat with my mooring cover that I can leave the boat alone at the mooring for awhile and not worry about the cockpit filling with water? For me, knowing the boat is self-bailing changes everything and I'm greatly relieved. But I'd like to know for sure. Please share your experience. Thanks!
