Greetings,
My 1981 E 28+ has standing water in the fiberglass pan under the engine.
I am guessing it is coming in from the shaft gland. Shouldn't this water drain down into the bilge? Even when I turn on the electric bilge pump the water remains in the pan under the engine. I wonder if there is a drain hole that may be plugged with oily sludge? If so, can you use a coat hanger or something to re-open the drain hole? I learn something new about this boat everytime I post a question. Thanks.
