    Water buildup under garbage can

    I pulled my garbage can out to empty it and noticed alot of water in the space below. I vacuumed it all out but whey is this not being pumped out or draining?

    Guess this is not on a newer boat. Must be the older Z9, Z8 or Z7.

    There are drains so the water can make it to the back of the hull. possible debris is blocking the drain.

    How much water we talking about?

    My Z7 has water there from time to time. I just check it after every trip and if there is water i just wipe it with a towel.

    May want to see if you can get your hand in there and feel for a drain in the middle of the hull.

    There is a drain to the rear I doubt you can touch it. I would start your phone on a video with the flash light on, move very slow to see what's going on.

    mine is always bone dry, after getting on plane a few times any water up there should be into the back.

    there is a rubber plug that goes in the drain in the bottom, pull plug, also pull boat plug cause thats where it drains to. i used a shallow aluminum disposable baking pan i put under the drain hole to collect the water when the ice melts.
