Hi I have a 2003 Glastron SX 195 with a Volvo Penta 5.0 liter. I recently purchased the boat and noticed water in the ski Locker. I opened the cover for the gas tank remove the gas tank and found excessive water in there too. After draining the water out with a cup I noticed there is no drain plug leaving the gas compartment. I am a bit confused should there be? Thank you for your help.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... Yes, there should be a series of limber holes through any hull pieces that stop the flow of water to the pumpable bilge,.....

In other words, any drops of water anywhere in the hull, should be able to flow to the bilge,....

Thank you Bondo. I have a pic attached of what I feel should be a drain under the fuel tank but it appears to have a metal plug of some sort. This is the only hole I can see in the compartment. Does this mean anything to you and should I try to remove it? Just wondering if there would be any potential issues in doing so. Thank you.
