i have a 2000 AB inflatable, one of the pontoon has a fair amount of water in it, but it holds air very well, I fact it was so hard on a hot day I had to let air out, so how does water get in if air is not going out? Also I do I get the water out I was thinking that there may be a way to unscrew the air fill valve and pump the water out ?

Any thoughts

Could be moisture from air while pumping, just deflate complete sib's tubes, flip up side down, form a V around tube valve, press central pin to let water out that tube. After finishing, could lay sib down with opened valve at sun for some hours to dry the interior.

Or do it the easy way. Put the valve in deflate and then use a shop vac to suck it out.
