I got caught up a creek today, literally, when a cold front blew through with 30-40 MPH winds. We were only forcast for 15-25 winds. Had I known what I was in store for, I would have stayed home. I dont know how big the waves were, but from the trough to the crest, some may have been approaching 6-7 feet, and they were tightly packed together. I tried to idle with the nose high in the air, but I still speered 2 waves that filled up the ##@* pit half way, and to my surprize, the water did not drain. I had the bilges running, but vey little water pumped out b/c it could not get through the cap. A couple more waves over the bow and I would have been in real trouble Im afraid. BCB, where are the best places to add more drains in the floor. In my opinion, the slit type drain covers should not be used b/c they get pressed together preventing good flow. This was the first time Ive ever been scared in my Cat. I will not go back out until it will drain properly, especially with cold weather on the way.
