Re: Floor Drain Holes

Should be able to stand outside the boat at the back (stern) a few feet away and look for a plug at the lowest point on the rear of the boat. It should be centered between the sides.

Re: Floor Drain Holes

It can wash straight back to the stern and into the bilge, where (hopefully), your pump will eject it at a point above the waterline, usually on the side of the boat.

In many boats, while floating in the water, the only way for water to escape (even deck water) is via a bilge pump.

When out of the water, any residual water can flow out the bilge drain hole located at the stern, very close to bottom.
