I just bought a 1986 outrage cuddy 25 with 2 four strokes suzuki and removed the cuddy. My problem is that when I wash the boat, there is water under the deck in the gas tank. I know I have to reseal all the joints, but do anybody know where I can get a diagram of these hull. Thank,s
Jaime.
This is a common problem and there is really no way to keep water from getting in there. Here is an article I wrote on the repairing my deck as well as I installed a pump to remove water from the cavity.
Jeff, how did the pump end up working? Did you get more water in there and pump it out or did the cavity stay dry? I am looking at options for my 19 - One thought was to run a pipe pvc from the cavity to the rear fish box and install a plug to prevent any water from going back in - Still in the thinking process but was curious about how you felt about your setup.

Thank´s, the article is just great. My deck is ok, no soft areas so I think maybe if I just make a hole to send the water to the fish box will help a lot, also changing all the caulk around the deck.
Just to know, where did you put the pump?? and where is the water suction to??
thank´´s again. Jaime.
