Hi all, I just picked up a 2004 190 Nantucket that is in great condition. 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.

It is normal.
Do you have an owner's manual for the boat?

That is normal and not a concern.

Thanks you Phill!!! This is my first BW and I'm pretty impressed with this 19 footer so far.
