so checking out the boat before I go out tomorrow and I see water in my ski locker. Is this the drain? I tried blowing air down it thinking it might be clogged, but it still held. I used a large crescent wrench and turn the top part off. And the water still stays. It is fresh water though from rinsing it off not salt water from the gulf.

Can someone give me some pointers? My manual tells me it’s a drain plug, but I don’t see any plug or draining water.

Also it’s a 2024 255xd for reference

Great news. I’m not a complete idiot. The drain was clogged with something. I shop vacuumed the drain and the water. I used the engine clean out nozzle and jetted anything else out of that line.

Sorry for the lengthy post. I’m glad I figured it out and can share the results.
 
Jack the tongue jack all the way up. Using a 2x or a 4x block of wood under the jack will get the bow up and all the water out of the hull below the ski locker.

Yes the tongue was jacked up. The issue was the drain. It was clogged with something from the manufacturer
