190SPX floor drains

[Matt S]

Hi Everyone. I have a 2018 190SPX, and have notice the there's a small amount of water accumulated on the floor in front of the stern bench seat, where the two drains are located. I honestly don't recall whether last year, when the boat was new, the same thing happened, or whether maybe the drains are clogged with debris. It's not a large amount of water, but some. I don't even know where/how to attempt to check to see if they're clogged. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

Spider nests, winter leaf debris, other insects, all clog those drains. I use a garden hose, and just spray. the clog should clear.

Check to see where the drains go... If they go overboard check where that location is....and if close to the water.
I had a 240 sundeck once where if you came off plane quickly and it was rough... lake water would backflow up thru the drain

Thanks randmhall and blueone. I hadn't even thought about using a garden hose. Will try this. Thanks a million.

I have the same boat and the drains work ok but I do get some water hanging around in front of the bench seat. They drain into the bilge and they are short runs so I think it is just a matter of not having enough gravity to pull the rest of the water through The drain hoses. It usually goes away when we get up on plane.
