The 01 210cc Has A Large 85 Gallon Fuel Tank And If The Boat Is Equipped With A Large Hp Four Stroke ,it Would Allow Water To Backflow Onto The Deck If The Scuppers Fail To Check The The Water At The Transom. The Factory Started Using Ball Checks And Put 70 Gal. Fuel Tanks To Help Reduce The Total Weight At The Transom. I Do Not Think It Is As Serious With Smaller Hp 2 Strokes . I Have Had Mine Fill Both Rear Fish Boxes And There By Flood The Deck And If The Bilge Pump Were To Fail ,i Would Have Been In Trouble...i Have Since Put Rabud Brand Ball Checks On The Transom And I Keep A Spare Bilge Pump With Alligator Clips That I Can Pump Water If The Need Should Ever Arise Again. This Is One Of The Reasons We Have A Section Devoted To The Earlier Models To Help Those Issues Be Made Aware Of And Solutions To Resolve Them.
Once Again ,this Is An Early Model Issue And I Would Think The Factory Has Had Time To Correct This In The Current Models
