Are these sold?

Just sent you a message Blasi019.

That is what I am going to do. I found the problem last night. I hooked a hose up to the intake and lightly turned it on. The water came into the bilge through the through hull seal. Just purchasing the boat, I haven't used the pump at all so I didn't think it was that. Should be an easy fix. It is getting fixed June 1st. I am just going to cap it until then.

a cracked pipe is something I am going to start with tonight, if i can get home soon enough from a little league game!

I tried plugging those two drain plugs based on the amount of water I noticed coming in the first time I took the boat out. I just thought I would plug them to see if that would do anything. I almost positive it is leaking around the seal of the through hull. When looking down into the bilge while it was docked, I could see evidence of water slowly entering there. I did not notice it coming from the fitting. Of course, I didn't have the pump on either...Going to take a closer look at it today. Maybe I can have more specific info later. Thanks for responding!

Hi guys-I purchased a new to me 2008 Starcraft Superfisherman. The Hull in like new, and everything is in excellent condition. On my first trip out, I noticed I had to run the bilge alot in a two hour run. There seemed to be water coming in. I had no idea where. Last night, I found out. I docked the boat and looked down into the bilge area. I noticed water coming in at my live well intake. I am assuming there is a bad seal. When I pulled the boat out of the water, I left my plug in, and sure enough, water came out of the intake. I was wondering if anybody every had this happen, and if so, is there an easy fix? I would assume pulling the pipe out and resealing? Also-I don't really use the live well. Could a quick fix be pulling out the tubing, leaving the pump in the bilge, and just plugging the hole? Do they cut those holes the same size as drain holes? I would think so, but thought I would ask. Love the new boat. Hoping this isn't a major issue!

So one more question-does anybody know if the Bert's downrigger stationary mounts can be used with the Scotty bases? I have Scotty swivel mounts. I am hoping I can buy the Bert's stationary mounts, and attach my swivel bases of my Scotty's to them...thoughts?

So the tracks are factory installed on the Superfishermans I believe. I know the new ones are anyway. This boat is a 2008 and I am pretty sure it comes with the Bert's track system. I am not sure if I am able to look underneath the track system or not (getting the boat Wed or Thur) so I will take a look I guess when I get it. I will get the risers. I noticed they look like they are made to fit a number of DR's. Does anybody know if the Bert Downrigger mounts fit Scotty 1100's or not? Thanks again for taking the time to respond to this question!

Hi everyone-frequent reader, but not a frequent poster here on this forum. I have really learned alot from reading about the techniques and stories that are put on this forum, so I really value the opinions here. I am buying a 2008 Starcraft Superfisherman 180 this week. I have Scotty Downriggers ready to install from the boat I just sold. The boat i am buying has a track system on its gunnels. Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the track systems in terms of: can I mount the DR's to them with a track mount system and not worry about the torque on the gunnels? Or do they still create too much torque to just mount them? I needed to use a trolling bar on my last boat do to the torque my Scotty's put on my gunnels...will I run into the same thing here? Thanks! jd

Pm sent! Hoping to take a look at them tomorrow if possible!
