Boat in water bilge should be on auto mode.

Compartment Plugs out will allow it to drain easier.

I keep all mine out so that any rain water ends up in bilge

Is that when the boat is storage not in the water ?

Only the wet compartment plug out ?
I hate to leave all plug out and get my engine flooded

 

[Neutron]

All of the time. If you keep them in, each compartment can fill up. If out all or most water ends up in bilge and either will be pumped out or drained out of the bilge

I just lift the front trailer need to be 6 ft from floor to bow light and all the stall water came out of the transom drain plugs . Under six feet water stay in the boat wow

 

[Motivation007]

The jack came with the trailer is to small so I had to put a brick underneath to get it to that height

When you say auto mode means keep switch on with light on ?

Bilge switch on ?

Every model is slightly different. But bilge switch on some boats have 3 positions....Auto/On/Off.

1. Auto = is on but pump only runs if water is present. (in this situation the pump is activated but not actually pumping all the time)
2. On = pump forced on regardless of water. (don't want to leave a pump on- running - all the time)

Yours probably only has two positions - Auto/Off.
