DUMB QUESTION OF THE DAY,
ok so i have never owned a "real boat" before. i have only had jon boats and kayaks, but in a trade recently i got a 15 foot sportscraft made in 1971 with a mercury 650 on it. now my question is when i look at the stern of the boat under the outboard there is two holes one on top and one on the bottom about 4 inches apart. i understand one is the ballast (i dont know which one). now the boat didnt come with a plug so i had to buy one. it only fits in the top hole. ok understandable, so the bottom must be the ballast, Right? now where i got confused is when it rained the other day and the boat filled with water it started to poor out of the bottom hole when i lifted the front of the trailer off the ground... i dont know im confused. i feel that if i put it in the water that it will fill with water and sink. please help. im a beginner.
