Re: new sea craft owner
Depending on the motor, lots of people have had that problem. These boats were designed for lightweight 2 stroke motors. Lots of reading on this subject. Search Scuppers. Welcome to the madness.

Just get a couple plugs and put them in when you're not running.

Re: new sea craft owner
that boat looks like mine . i have the little oblong windows on the cuddy. nice looking boat there. i tried putting the plugs in but like frank says . still leaked into the bildge. bought a couple brass tubes. gonna try to put those in. otherwize they'll be sealed up with fiberglass body filler. can't be worried about leaks when i'mm 25 miles offshore fishing for cod and haddock.
