I've cleaned the boat many times before and never had this problem but now water is collecting inside the center ski locker and will not drain. I have unscrewed the grate and tried to reach around the best I could but I couldn't feel anything. It's about a 2" drain and I can only reach as far as my fingers let me.

Does anyone know what I should use? Coat hanger? Plunger?

Put a coat hanger or something of the sort in the drain, It is mostl likely plugged up with goop!

Weed eater plastic string works and will not gouge anything up....... or use a shop vac and try to seal it around the drain.

Could you put a water hose and try to use water pressure to get the plug out? Also if you have a snake, try that?

So I couldn't see the drain hole under the grate so I used a rounded side of a coat hanger and a plunger and it seemed to work. I just kept digging around until it cleared a little bit.

Next time I'll use Drano!

thanks for the suggestions!
