I own a 2001 Starcraft Fisherman 196 which does not have seats inserted in the transom but the storage on 1 side & storage in battery compartment on other. After washing down the inside, water is now not draining out of the battery compartment. It was canvas covered under a tree since fall so leaves were in the boat when it was uncovered. I believe it drained OK last year. I cannot feel or see any drain hole or screen to clean out in the battery compartment. Backwashing with a garden hose and also an air compressor did nothing. I ran a clothes hanger wire down a space on the inside on the motor side. That seemed to allow some water out.

Anyone have any ideas why it is not draining and where the drain hole is?
