Topic: O’Day 28 Bilge Drainage

Author Message Prev Topic | Next Topic  shrkbait "Seaman Recruit" Joined: July 11 2006 Posts: 1 Posted: July 11 2006 at 23:42 | IP Logged I own an '86 Oday 28.  The stuffing box is leaking a little, but that's not my issue.  The water has nowhere to go, the bilges under the engine drain pan don't seem to drain down to the main bilge where the bilge pump is located.  Any '86 owners know what the deal is?  Maybe there is a small drain that is clogged that I have not located?  Thanks.
