Brown oooze??

In the storage lot there is a boat on a trailer parked next to my 5th wheel and there is light brown stuff - about the consistancy of a milkshake oozing from a hole in the side of the boat. Its a moomba ski boat and there are 2 chrome holes one above the other and the ooze is coming from the bottom hole. Thought these would be bilge pump holes but cant imagine what this puddle of stuff is on the ground. Any ideas boaters? Not about to smell, touch or taste so forget that now...gg.

  • those are the intake and dump holes for the water tanks the boat has to create a bigger ski wake.It sounds like they have some muddy water in them and are not completly emty
  • Oil mixed with water makes a brown oozy mess. Cleaned enough of it out of bilges in my youth to last a lifetime.
  • A mix of oil and water from the bilge? It's still gross to think that this sludge is leaking into our waterways...
  • run far away :) :)

    and then park next to something different!

    no idea. eww. makes one wonder but it is probably an easy explanation but I am not a boater to the max so will be interesting to hear what people think.
  • are these above or below the waterline? could be bailing drains for the cockpit area and dead leaves, fish guts, etc. would not look pleasant.
    bumpy
  • Drug dealers stashed it at a storage lot with dead bodies? Maybe ask the person at the front desk to check it out. Call them from your cell phone when your there and ask them to come out to your space.
