Does anyone have a flow chart of how the water drains out of an 2012 SX190?
-This is what I am following so far: Water from the anchor locker drains via hull to ski locker.
From ski locker there is a vertical drain/plug......Where does water go from there?

Front of boat is elevated and all plugs open - Ski Locker, Gas Compartment, Engine, and qty: 2 hull plugs in back of boat


Thanks!
 
It drains into the bilge but it takes the boat being way up to get it to flow back to it.
 
No problem. First time I washed my boat real good is how I found out the ski locker won't drain into the bilge unless the boat is at a big angle in the air. I have to crank the jack way up on the driveway, so I try and avoid soaking around the ski locker otherwise I just use a towel and dry up most of it. I don't like the jack too much and it worries me cranking it so high lol.

I had to add a cylinder block under the jack to get the front high enough to drain all the water. Trying to make sure all the water is out. Temps are suppose to drop into the 30's this coming weekend.
