    As its been mentioned on this thread already, my boat will also have little bit of water on that lower bottom tray, when I park and unhitch the boat, I raise the trailer jack high enough until I see that water coming out the open rear drain plug.

    Since day 1 from when I picked up my boat, there has always been water in the bilge. Maybe a 1/4" if that. Not enough to come out of the plug when Jack is raised.

    Water must have gotten in during transportation or at my dealer, even though it didn't rain.

    I haven't seen the water level increase with my 2 outings.

    Are you sure it isn't coming from the aluminum sweating? Any temp change with high humidity the tin will sweat. All summer I have noticed that it can be dry one day and the next morning when I get to the ramp I have some water in the bilge area from what I assume is the tin sweating. I don't even pay attention to it anymore, if it gets to a level that kicks on the bilge, great, that is why I got the Victor package. But then when my daughter is with me, she enjoys getting splashed from the wakes, so I try my best to trim down and soak her, even when she doesn't want too. Bilge has kicked on and didn't give it a second thought.

    stick a rag in the hole while it's parked, it will wick the water out
