| Post subject: | Tandem Island Hull Filled Up With Water |
HI - Thank you for reading/responding. My 2014 Tandem Island - the Hull has a bunch of water in it. Question: the "plug" on the back of the Hobie underneath- is that the only / best way for me to drain the water out? I unscrewed this plug and titled the boat until the water stopped coming out- but, then when I put the boat back down I can hear that there is still a fair amount of water in there. Any thoughts/comments - much appreciated. |

The AI/TI boats have some curvature along the keel. If you do not tilt the boat far enough, water in the hull will not completely drain. It is a simple matter to sponge it out when the hull is level. If your hull has a "bunch" of water in it after a day's sail, you should consider where it is entering and attempt to fix the problem. Keith |

You can also use a bilge pump to empty the water more quickly than the drain plug. If you don't have one, I'd suggest it is a required item to have aboard. I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Seattle-Sports-P ... tle+sports |
