is a hole for the drain of

the 30 cm holes drain out the
mentioned well

yes and water enters
inside in the well and also coming on the deck

aren't just from the outboard well?
> brumer
is from the well but i feel
that the boat going to sink and also i cant see water in the well
always
the deck is located about 10
cm higher and darin the waters in this well
if i go to the aft and add my
weight the well becomes full off water the water start enters in
the deck and start flooding a near by, fish well adding more weight
about 60 liters or more and make the things more
worst.
I DONT KNOW IF THIS
CORRECT
i start cutting on the deck
holes and i inspect the internal foam for waters
i dont see terrible
things
then i remove the foam in the
aft section i raise the well bottom about 8 cm higher and relocate the
drain holes
also i fit a watertight cover
to the fish well.
in the new empty space
installed a bilge pump
never i test the boat after
that.
the boat is a Robalo US
made somewhere 80 to 90 i am not sure is a strong construction and
planning fast reaching easy 48 knots in calm wheather with 175 hp
engine.
i spend lot of my time
and personal effort so i dont want to see my tries to fail
the dead rise angle is 18
degrees and really i dont know what this means
when the boat planning all
the v is outside the water almost near to surface
