RESTO 2001 Challenger Water in boat question

[Nukem1040]

Can someone school me up on why this water isn't draining?
And when I'm boating, why does a little water come back in and then I have a little puddle by my feet?
Lastly, do I ever mess with these fuel knobs? When I look at the fuel cell, it's one big tank.

It's called a scupper valve. Pretty popular on ocean boats like whalers and stuff. Overtime time they go bad and leak in water. Go buy a generic ball scupper and stick it on the end. If you want to be extra cautious, get a screw type plug that goes on by your feet. When I get home from work I'll post the link to the one I got from McMaster that fits perfectly.

Great, thank you!
I'll be standing by for pics and where I can pick this plug up at. This really helps

Anyone have pics of this generic scupper ball so I know what I'm looking for?

Turning the fuel off when you dont use the boat is not a bad idea

Ok.
Do both of them really control 1 fuel cell?
Is there really a reserve in this boat?
How do I fill the reserve tank up or does it get filled through the main port?

Here's the scupper valve I got at West Marine.

There is no reserve, each knob does fuel to 1 motor

$100bill, isn't this it outside the boat?
Thanks Snik for the help

Yeah, that's it.

That's the one I have too. And here's a link to the plug I bought: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/2052/=12zelyv It's model number 2613K21. Size is perfect because the hole is 1.5" and it's range of adjustment is 1.44" to 1.65"

Great!! Thanks MLars and $100bill.
Buying it tomorrow morning!
