Hi all, I have a 2004 Islandia, and the first time I pulled it out of the water this season I noticed a lot more water than normal draining out of the bilge. So I’ve had it in the water for 8 hours just to confirm there is no leak, and it seems fine.
But today I noticed that when I’m under power for a little while, afterwards if I take a look the bilge has a decent amount of water in it (~4 inches possibly). I’m not really sure what is a normal amount? My understanding is that the bilge actually should be pumping out under power from Venturi effect?
I confirmed my pee hole water cooling drain is working properly, but I wonder if it’s possible there is a leak or crack in this plumbing and some of it is going into the bilge? Thankfully the bilge pump works fine still.
I’m not really sure how to troubleshoot this since, if it is an issue, im not really thrilled about popping the engine cover while under power
Separately (or possibly not), I am wondering what this hose is with a filter on the end of it - I noticed it was really gummed up with debris and just sitting loose in the engine compartment (pic attached)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
