Drainage issue.

[trihull59]

I have a 1987 Cuddy Cabin that i just purchased , where you go into the cabin part of the boat in that step down there is a hole that i assume is suppose to drain water that collects there but i can see the water just sitting beneath the whole , my question is how can i get the water to the back end of the boat to the bilge pump without taking the floor apart?

Lift the front of the trailer.

There is a drain in there ....somewhere..... you need to find it. In the interim you can shop vac out the water and lift the bow up higher.

I lifted the boat as high as it would go the back of the trailer was touching the ground, with no water coming out, i think under the floor somewhere the water ports have to be clogged up. Do you think if i put a plumbing snake down that hole it would do anything?

Sounds like some debris is clogging the drain... I would try to snake it out can't really hurt anything.

i had the same problem at the ski locker. I put the blow gun attachment on the air compressor, jammed it into the drain, and pulled the trigger. It was nasty, but it worked.
