    Where does this drain to?

    2017 Z521
    My boat cover doesn't cover this area and I sometimes get some leaves and debris there. Where does this drain go to? Seems like it goes down in the battery compartment.

    It goes through the transom area and comes out under the boat. Look under the hull below it.

    Thanks. So if some leaves get in it I can probably flush it with a water hose?

    Pour some water in it and see where it comes out

    I would rather know where it's going before I flush a bunch of leaves and dirt into my battery compartment or who knows where.

    It goes straight through the hole under the stern. I fish Lake Erie, where the splashwell has water in it pretty much constantly, and every wave brings in more water when drifting downwind. If the water went into the bilge area, my pumps would be running nonstop. Just so you can be 100% sure, I went outside a minute ago and poured a glass of water into the splashwell of my 2018 Z519, which has the same design as your boat. Straight through.

    Awesome, thanks! I just did the same thing and got the leaves out.

    And I’m sure it’s warm enough there that it won’t freeze upon contact, like up here!
