Water under port engine (where are limber holes??)
I manually pumped the water to the bilge compartment but my question is 'shouldn't the water drain out from under the engine automatically if it fills?" Is there a drain hole between each compartment??
Thanks for any insights you may have.

The only way for water to get out is, you pump it out, or it runs to the aft and thru the limber hole under the genny and then forward.
Most of the water in there is from the deck plate drains leaking or being plugged and overflowing into the bilge.

Re: Water under port engine (where are limber holes??)
All those things look good on paper engineering wise but don't work as designed in practice.....while the boat is underway all the accumulated water etc runs aft then thru to the center compartment to be pumped out by one or both of the pumps there. The only way it works as by design, if that in fact is what they were going for, is if the boat is sitting static and does not move and the operator pumps out the bilge and disposes of the bilge water in the appropriate manner. The reason for having those oil absorbent pads and drip pans under the engine/trans assemblies IMO.
