Port side bilge water not draining

[Agriman]

I have a 350 Mariner and with 454 engines and a generator its impossible to see where the drain hole thru the stringer is located. About 1 -2 inches of water accumulates here. If someone has the same boat could tell me where it should be I would like to be sure its not plugged. With bow up it usually reaches the pump in the center section.

On ours ( 2001) it was under the genny near the gen sea strainer and open behind where the aft pump was.

Thanks, I will see if I can locate it. My aft bilge pump rarely runs. The bilge pump in front of the batteries runs after rain and washing the boat but always has a small amount of water.

If the discharge hose from that pump runs thru the bottom of the stringer to the stbd side you may probably find they did not seal that passage very well and it generally drains the stbd engine bilge space thru to the center where the hose runs thru.....good thing that stringer is some sort of composite......they also screwed the battery shelf right into the bottom of those stringers as well with no sealant......something to look at......
