Just bought this boat and when ever i wash it down the water keeps going into the cabin area.It has a aft bilge pump only that is automatic and works fine.The 24 ft came with a forward bilge.The water cant go through the cabin door the way it is made.There are two drain holes on the floor at the stern.I wash the boat when it is on the trailer so i do understand that it is probably going to run to the bow.The boat is lower in the front.Also when i am on a incline the water runs from the bow to the stern and the automatic bilge will operate and discharge the water.The plug is always removed to.How can i keep the water from going to the bow? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Keeping the water from running forward will also prevent it from running aft. This would be bad!

If this only happens when rinsing, I would change where I rinse the boat to somewhere where the bow is pointing upward. Or remove it from the vehicle and crank it up.
