[QUOTE="Zum, post: 286184, member: 349"] I guess I'm not a smart person then...no way I'm pulling the plug to see if the floatation works. Fills up all the compartments,water will probably never drain totally....seems like way overkill. I guess I'll be the first to say that I don't have a bilge pump...After seeing buddies(sry forgot name)jet boat sink in the river,it did get me thinking I should get one but with holes that big,probably not going to remove the water anyways. When fishing in the rain,I often pull the plug and motor around the lake,to drain the water.Afew times I've slowed up to see how fast the water comes in and it's crazy how fast it is.Not sure how big a bilge pump would have be to keep up to it but I doubt a 500 would keep up...guess it would depend how big the hole is. Again now knowing(pretty sure I knew before but then again how would I know until now?) that I'm not smart,I seriously wouldn't do what I do.. [/QUOTE]
