Default Re: A little help needed - drainage side compartme

there not removeable mine had 2, 8 inch access plates installed. I removed my cap and innerliner to redo the stringers and transom .The standing water is soaked up through the glass into the transom. That is what ate mine out, not the holes or tubes going thruogh the transom. i am currently installing fiberglass drain tubes through my stringers at the back corners to drain the rain water out. Mine did not have any drain tubes at all. Fresh water done more damage to my boat than salt. Look on page 3 under repairs/mods at salvagefirst 23. Les

So what your saying is that there is no drain in place, correct? I have the 8" access holes as well.

Correct, mine did not have drain tubes, it always held water. if you have a floor livewell you can get to the back of the stringers drill a hole through the stringer level with the floor and add a drain tube on each side. if you look closely at my pics you will see the water standing there. the transom works like a sponge , it soaked water up all the way to the top of the transom.

How did they expect that to drain? I do see a tube sticking out on the port side, so that may be a drain tube. I have to stick a hose in it an see if water trickles through to the bildge. I cant see the same tube on the starboard side because there is a lot of wires/cables obstructing my vision. Maybe its blocks on that side, I dont know. Do some SeaCrafts have drain tubes?
