I bought this ski not too long ago. I noticed on the outside of the transom right below where the steering linkage comes out that there was a carriage bolt.
When messing with it it was sticking out and from the inside i noticed that the engine drain line was on it.
So it seems like someone jammed a carriage bolt through the transom and blocked off the lower engine drain line....I think.
Has anyone heard of that? I can't run it like that correct because the water would go in the hull? if I take the bolt out there is an open hole into the hull as well.
Also if that is the lower end engine drain line with a dedicated thru hull wouldn't water back up in the motor when just sitting in the water?
