GM,
We have a 2004 5200 that we bought 8/2024. Our keel bilge doesn't get excessively wet but under our starboard engine we get water while underway. Doesn't happen when raining. The swim platform awash while underway is a possibility. I will be doing the same with a hose and the transom locker (aft) bilge.
One question regarding the flaps covering the bilge discharge, what are or could they be replaced with? Had majority of the engine and deck hoses replaced last winter and the yard had to replace the thru-hulls. In the process they discarded the flaps. Any ideas for replacing?
Regards
