    I think it may just be the way the boat is because of the small size and the 2 batteries on the starboard stern side. My father in law said it always listed a bit but he doesn’t pay a lot of attention to these details like I do. So I think it may just be “normal “ and a “reporting bias” on my...

    Brilliant! TY: "You don't have to move any batteries - just put someone that weighs between 100 and 140 pounds at the exact spot on the other side."

    I confirmed by looking down into the bilge via the 5” circular access lids by the engine. I assume these are the pie plates you are referencing. No water. I did not unscrew the 1/2” screw at the very bottom of the transom. I can do that next. There is nothing else on the boat other than...

    Thanks. That’s a possibility. I did give the wrong estimate of 4-5”. My concern though is that starboard scupper is under water just sitting at the dock. Also nobody/ nothing on board. From lat summer to this summer one difference is I’m getting water on starboard stern deck when we are...

    Thanks for that, I was trying to track down where the front drain originates.

    Thanks for all the recommendations and insights I appreciate it. Last night here's what I did: -Confirmed bilge pump working, used a hose and filled about 3" of water in the bilge, confirmed bilge is working on both standby and when switched on. The pump worked great fast and heavy flow out...

    Thanks, would that cause it to sit 4-5" lower in water on stern starboard side regularly? Would the fix be to replace the scup flap on the stern starboard transom? I'm just thinking there was a small amount of water on the deck, that would probably not cause the whole rear to sink that much?

    Newbie Question

    Hi there, so my father-in-law gave us his 19' grady white that's about 20+ years old. I've never been a boater but have been trailer-ing it for the last year and it has done well until recently. I started noticing water on the stern-starboard deck when not in motion. I cleaned out the scupper...
