Water building up in bilge

[SLiM JiM 156]

I think I may have bit off more than I can chew with this one. I left my boat out in the rain for a few days, and when I opened my ski locker I can see a bunch of water built up. I ran the bilge which got all the water out of the rear of the boat, but this water is still sitting. I think there is a good amount in there because when I was driving the boat, it would lean to the left. I tried shoving a fish tape down the PVC pipe that runs through the rib, but I think it just comes out of the pipe and hits the next rib. All the wood down there doesn't look rotted, and the floor is solid. I'm thinking that stuff over the years got down there and is plugging the train to the rear of the boat. Any ideas on how to get this water out? Thanks in advance.

Re: Water building up in bilge

can you get to one side of the drain? maybe a airhose or water hose to blow it out or even a shop vac with a flexable hose taped to it
