Water in Bilges of 350 Mariner
Is it normal to have water in the bilges? Specifically I have around my 98 350 mariner for three years and they’re always seems to be a little bit of water in each of the bilge areas which I assume is normal. Is that the case? It doesn’t seem possible to keep the water out because someone out will always be residual left behind by the pumps. Also I always have a little bit of water laying in each of the smaller areas under each engine Where the shafts exit the boat maybe as much as an inch or 2 inches deep which does not seem to be extracted by the bilge as easily as the center area near the aft bilge. Any thoughts in these areas would be appreciated.

The other areas should remain dry. If you're getting water in there you should figure out where it's coming from. It could be a leaky hose, or could be rainwater getting in somewhere. Could be the shower sump is overflowing sometimes, or a leaky hot water pressure/temperature safety valve.

Remove the engine bay covers. Along the sliding glass door under the ridge that the covers sit in, you will find a drip try. On either side of the drip tray is the drain hose. remove that and blow it out. This is a pretty common area to have water.
I think I'm going to do a new thread. I have a leak in my fresh water system and am not really sure how to access the line. Stby for more!
