My trolling motor pedal is recessed and I fished in an absolute monsoon last weekend. I just assumed their was a drain hole somewhere down in the recessed area but the entire recessed area filled up with water. Should there be drain hole? I removed the pedal and there is a hole that is plugged up with rubber plug so no water can escape. Any input would be apprecitaed.
They all need a drain.

yes it should drain. Take the plug out and let her drain down in the hull.
drain and dry that pedal out real good, I would unplug its power and put a little fan on it. You don't want it shorting out and ruining a trip.
