Anyone with a 195CC. What's been your experience with the drainage of the self-bailing cockpit on your boat?
My boat doesn't seem to drain at all well, with 3 in. of water sloshing around after a rain storm and it takes forever to drain out through the stern floor drains, which I have confirmed are not plugged up. Of course, when underway the water gets sucked out, but it is an annoyance.
When I hose down the boat, I have to stand on my swim ladder to get the water out.
This means when I go out to my moored boat after sitting around for a couple days, there's a pile of dirt in the middle of my boat, left behind after evaporation.
Seems like they didn't put an aft slope on the cockpit floor, and in fact, the boat seems to assume a slight bow-down attitude at rest, which means my fish lockers get a little back flow from the bilge. And, no, I don't have a heavy anchor
Also, there is only a few inches of head between the underwater floor drain outlets and the surface of the floor, so it takes forever to drain at standstill.
This is the only complaint I have about the boat. It really handles well in heavy water, and I love the layout.
As to storage, I have a T-top, with a t-bag, and under-top rod storage to keep them out of the sun. I keep my Canon down rigger in the forward floor hatch. So for me, it's the perfect boat--well, almost perfect.
Just installed Guest 3/3 twin-battery maintenance charger with an external plug connection, so I just plug it in when at the dock overnight.
