Can someone tell me how to remove excess water from the center toon storage area of a 2023 Bowrider? I have LOTS of water not just wet, it was returned to me that way after a yearly service and "detail" from a Bennington dealer. Its on a lift so it had to have been from them hosing it down. Will the bilge pump remove this? Thanks in advance.

My center toon storage area drains and a factory installed bilge pump removes it. They know water is going to get in the storage, there has to be a drain or a bilge pump? Check to make sure no drains are plugged. Have you turned on your bilge pump?

I would expect your bilge pump to take care of it once you try that.

So I don't have a picture below the center toon storage flooring - but under it I recall two or three holes that drain into the rear sections(s?) of the toon and into the compartment where the Gas Tank is stored, where it is then picked up by the bilge pump (which I had rewired direct to the battery so I could always have auto blige on - summer monsoon will dump a HUGE amount of water into the center toon, even though we keep the mooring cover on - it hits the front deck and washes down through the middle of the Benny). I recall those drain holes being about a 1/4" or more above the flooring, so there is always water left. Our center toon is packed, so wiping it up after each use is not practical. However, with typical weather being 110 plus - it tends to evaporate quickly.
