    Trolling Motor Well drain question

    Hi Fellow Gambler & Sterling fans,
    I have a 2014 Sterling 22DC and I washed my carpet over the weekend. Noticed the TM well filled up with water. Took out the Minn Kota foot pedal and noticed the drain plug was corked up with a rubber stopper. I assume that it might be because it leaks into the center compartment. Can anyone give me the details of where that drain should go and how I can check to ensure it's working properly? I assume it's supposed to be a drain similar to those that appear above in the gutters of all the compartments. Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    K.C.

    It will drain to a center chute that goes all the way back to the bilge, its the same chute that the cockpit drains into.

    Thanks, guys. Just wasn't sure as I had some moisture in my center area. Probably from all the rain we've had recently when I was out fishing.
