Drain plugs in water

[NH190]

Hopefully going to launch my new to me 2016 SX190 soon. It will be wet slipped for the summer. I'm trying to get an idea of what plugs to leave in while in the water. It will have a bow and cockpit cover so hopefully should stay mostly dry. Only obvious ones are the 2 stern plugs. Ski locker, engine and fuel compartment plugs? Not sure on those.

Ski locker drains to the engine area and the bilge will turn on automatically if waters coming in. Not sure about removing the other plugs but definitely leave the stern plugs in

I wet slip and leave all the plugs open. If your boat is like the 24 footers, the ski locker drains to the fuel compartment, which drains to the engine compartment, which drains to the bilge.
If you ever have water pooling up in the ski locker, it means you have a lot of water in the bilge.
I would also recommend a 2nd bilge pump wired directly to your battery and “tow valves” for wet slipping.

Two thumbs up on the second bilge.

On my 2017 190 the ski locker doesnt empty into the gas locker, it empties into the bilge. Additionally the anchor locker does drain into the ski locker (small hole in bottom, no plug there).

The bilge is already wired directly to the battery
