Standing Water

[Fishbehavin]

So, I always have standing water in the forward deck storage compartment and inside the console. Looking in the engine compartment it appears the bilge sits in a pocket below the inner liner.

My thought is to drill a hole in both the forward deck storage compartment and inside the console and use a drain same as in the aft deck and just let the water drain directly into the bilge and bypass the existing drain system.

Anyone do this? Thoughts?

Have you tried using a piece of weed wacker line in the drains to clear them? I’d be very careful with a drill down there a guy awhile back drilled a hole in the hull… ooops

I have tried everything. Nothing has worked. Seriously? He drilled a hole in his hull?? How???

He was trying to clear the drain in his ski locker and drilled through the bottom of the boat…

Both the bucket locker floor and the head compartment floor etc are part of the liner and the water should drain from those compartments should drain into the bilge. The fuel cell should be its own compartment that won’t allow any fuel or water to drain into the bilge and at least on my boat has its own drain plug, I assume you’ve pulled that plug to see if that will drain the water out of your two problem areas? Sounds like that area under the liner where the water should be draining is plugged, I know captain obvious….

You could pull the forward fuel cell bulk head out and see if that would give you some access ?

Doesn’t the boat have a limited lifetime warranty on the hull? That sounds like a hull issue to me.I’d take it to the dealer in the off season and get them to fix it. Yours wasn’t the only one I’ve read about with this issue as well as the ski locker drain.
