17 Outrage II Aft Live Well; Water-Fuel Separating Filter
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:18 am
Just recently purchased 1998 17 Outrage II.
FIRST TOPIC ON DRAINS FOR LIVE WELLS: I found two live wells in the aft cockpit deck: one on each side below cushioned seat.
The prior owner had no plugs in the drain holes so they are just open.
Is it recommended to put plugs in drain holes if not being used for a live well? Why would you allow water into the aft wells if not using them. I would think this is putting more weight in rear of boat when water can flow into them.
SECOND TOPIC ON WATER SEPARATING FILTERS:
One of the wells has what I believe is a water separation filter.
How often should the water separating filter be changed?
