[QUOTE="whistler, post: 229930, member: 1086"] Had a couple of VRO models and had water problems also. No drain plugs were left in allowing the boat to fill with water. However the boat was kept outside uncovered. I realize that's not the best way but??? In several instances the VRO tank got water to the point of seeing it in the bottom of the tank. The tank was located under a small driver console so some protection was offered. However during a hard blowing rain water would and could blow onto it. The tank was made of plastic with a very tight fitting cap. Never did understand how water could get into the tank this way, so I still wonder how water found it's way into the tank? I had to watch very close for water in those units. I removed that tank and dumped them several times. Ultimately both motors with the VRO's failed and one cylinder was trashed. Can't say whether it was water related or the VRO problem. Good Luck, Stay on top of this situation! [/QUOTE]
