We got caught in a really bad storm yestday, we got the boat loaded on the trailer and ran for cover from all the Lightning. I wanted to take out the drain plug but safety was my priority. When it was safe about 45 minutes later We went to pack up the boat and the amount of water in the bilge was about 2" below the top of the stringers. We drained the water and checked the transmission fluid and oil and both looked fine. Water never got above transmission fill plug. Drying the boat out today and I just want to check to see if I need to do anything else like change the fluids?

I think you should be good to go, next time, make sure your bilge pump is on to prevent the accumulation of water in bilge
When I store my boat with cover, I prop the doghouse and observer seat up a few inches to keep air flowing and keep things dry. |
