    New Marlin 30 Owner questions

    I do washdown the boat after each use but not sure if that generates enough water, but that is great advice and I will pump dry AFTER I wash down and see what happens. Do you think it could be any of the thru hull fittings? Does the head pump out of the bottom or the side?
