Re: Self-bailing

Re: 1989 Outrage - hull water
There is some water in the rigging tunnel and possibly the tank cavity. It is common. Your pump should come on as the pump should be hard wired even if batteries are off. That is not how they did it back then, mine is on a switch.

If you think the helm is still good and was not wrestled with to get free, try cleaning the cable or just buy a new cable. Many people try and use the helm to free it and do damage to the teeth.

No. The steering cable screws onto the other side.
I would not mess with cleaning it all up and trying it out as that usually lasts a couple weeks.
On a 22-year-old boat I would buy the helm and the cable and change it out for under $200.

Re: Gel Coat White Marks; Transom Holes
Your chalking problem is due to lack of wax. Easily cured with wax. Transom is probably not rotten. Repair and use a spreader bar to cover the small cracks and spread the stress over a larger area. They are like $20 or so.

What space do you have that is 55-inches or more long to store it?
My guess is under the console if long enough or on the side next to the railing. On a Katama I would probably lean towards the console side to hide it some.
