I took my boat out for the first time this morning. *Finally got it
started but it would die after several minutes if I didn't give it
some throttle. *It is an older model Glas-ply with a Volvo motor. *I
lifted the doghouse on the engine and the entire bottom was filled
with water. *It had evidently sprayed the motor. *Do I need to insert
the plug in the back of the boat to keep the water out, or just run
the bilge pump? *This is the first boat I have ever owned and any
suggestions you coulc offer would be great.


I take it this is not a joke. *If not............you need to take boating
safety course before you head back out on the water again. *Based on your
question you should not be on the water until you take and pass the course..
You may also want to purchase and read the latest edition of Chapman.

Do not take boating safety so lightly...........we do not want to read about
you being the cause of the death or injury of your passengers or other
boaters on the water.


Oh, STFU.
