What does it happens if i take off the plugs from the drain tubes on a 1988 18' Outrage not moving?
Which is the level of water that comes inside?
In other words is static self draining ?

Apologize my bad English.

If you pull the plugs of your Outrage 18, not much will happen. Try it.

You'll find the water level does not rise above the floor and the boat can (of often is) operated without the plugs in at all.

Edo -

Congratulations on the Outrage! Can you post some photos of the family and the great scenery?

As Tom said above, pull them and watch.

Hello Phill and everybody, thanks for the answer.
The boat will be transfer this week end to the sea in Liguria.
I asked this because I have to do an examination to a specialized organization to obtain the certification to go until 12 miles from the coast and one of the proof to get the paper is this :
the boat must drain the water pulled inside the floor without bilge pump.
And I hawe to pay in advance 600 $ end if the proof fails, I have put the money in the trash!!
I will post the photos as soon as I will take them.

Bye

Edo-

While there may be some water in the bilge, any additional water will drain out to get back to the static point. If you pour a large bucket of water on the deck, all the water you add will drain out.
