Well its kind of hard to explain but ill try. I just bought a 1995 Fisher 1648 welded Jon and it has stringers that run length wise down the boat. Well under the floor between the stringers there is a bilge pump.well beside tge drain plug in the back is a hole and im assuming the bilgepump is to pump waters into the livewell.there is a hole in the back and attached to that is a hose that leads to the bilge pump. Well after I took it oit today I noticed it took on some water.well when I got home I unbolted the floor and filled the boat with water to check for leaks.I noticed a few drips at the seam at the bottom but I could see it draining out of the bilge pump hole in the back.I have a bilge pump that shoots out the side and I do not use this one. So I took a bait well plug and siliconed that hole shut hoping that will stop it. Anybody had and similar problems like this
