[QUOTE="richg99, post: 451626, member: 4376"] For some reason, a lot of boats were built with a short shafted motor in mind. When you have a short shafted motor, you need a shorter transom. So, the engineers designed in a "splash well" to handle the excess water you'd get when backing down. Most splash wells that I have seen have drain holes built into them. The water rushes in, but then drains right back out. However, if you have water coming in while you are moving forward, then as Scott F pointed out, something is wrong in Denmark, or at least, in your boat. More info in necessary. [/QUOTE]
