[QUOTE="derooi_07, post: 474300, member: 25768"] I just purchased a 1990 bass tracker tx17 with a 40 hp Evinrude motor. While checking the boat out at first, I noticed it was holding water on the inside of the boat such as where you sit and thought it just had a plugged drain since there was one in the floor. After getting it home and trying to drain the water, we have had no luck. Upon reading other posts on here, seems to be a common problem with these boats to get water to drain. Was told this boat sat for a long period of time and after trying to blow air down the bottom ribs to get it unclogged I began to get chunks of carpet out so I’m assuming mice had been in it and plugged everything closed. The boat has almost a foot of water inside it and barely drips out of the drain hole. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to get the water to drain or if I have to tear the whole boat apart. Help would be appreciated as I am at a loss. [/QUOTE]
