Jim, look at line item number 6 on the Outrage Owners Manual that was provided to the forum by Pill T. It is on page four of the manual. I referred to it as a fish box. The proper name is forward in-deck storage. Underneath that "forward in-deck storage" compartment. are two through hull d...

Thank you all for your responses. It is item number 6 from the standard features in the owners manual referred to as "Forward in-deck storage." In reading the manual, when the boat is in the water, the seacocks must be closed and plugs must be in the drains. My plan is to fill the forward ...

I just bought a 2005 270 OUTRAGE boat. While running the boat I noticed the forward fish box will fill with seawater while the boat is underway. Seawater comes through the macerator and into the box. To drain [water from the forward fish box,] I have to take out the drain plugs while the boat is mov...

PHIL--thanks, that is exactly the information I was looking for. I’ve had to replace fuel tanks on previous boats I’ve owned, and I’m always suspicious of fuel tanks located under the cockpit deck. For the drawings I think these tanks are NOT foamed in place--which is a good thing. The engines are a...

I have made an offer on a 2006 [later clarified to be a 2005] 270 OUTRAGE boat, and I will be hiring a surveyor and a mechanic to go over the boat and engine. Q1: {What elements of a 2006 270 OUTRAGE and its engines] should I be looking at? The [owner's manual] says the fuel tank is aluminum. Q2: [A...
