17macae Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Jim; No check valve in mine. If the bilge discharge goes to the water line, water will flow into the bilge. Unlike in older Mavericks, all cockpit and gutter drains go to the bilge. Only the livewell drains overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tender Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Ughhh that hurts my eyes. Really *** that you ended up having to cut a hole like that. Being it's a 2021 couldn't that have been covered under warranty? Also I'm assuming the loop was there to prevent it from back flowing? Glad to see you got it fixed.

Only a one year warranty and then they referred me to the dealer. Dealer had no experience with the issue so, rather than having the boat sit at a dealership for a month and very likely being charged for the repair...... I'll glass the curved edge and then screw a section of 1/4 ply coated with epoxy over the hole - maybe paint it and it won't be noticed. I will have a nice access port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 A one year warranty for an issue of an improper design ? really Makes no sense for a 50K+ boat? Very disappointing. It sounds like a design flaw should be covered. Having to mangle the boat is a shame. Hope it all works out fine. Let us see the final results.

polliwog Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I'm sure you are right about the prices these days. Makes the point even more important. Having several MBG boats ,there are somethings that are design ignorant. Everything that may need service should access ports or openings. In boat things just happen. Having owned many many boats over 50yrs I've seen it all. I think. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17macae Posted May 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Here is the very basic repair - may hit it with epoxy paint one day but not worth buying just for this. I notice the bilge pump float switch on the sahara pump has a significant voltage drop - the pump runs slower. A very heavy rain could sink her. Speaking of prices, I paid 65k for this boat with 48 hours on it. It's loaded but the weight from the extras in the stern is causing porpoising issues. It has a Power Pole and a 4" hydraulic jack plate that I think I need to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
