Another question about drains.....is the fuel tank compartment sealed from the rest of the hull?....sorry about the late reply to all of your comments, I need to enable alerts in my control panel.......Just read the other comments....yes it does drain under the tank.....okay, a plug and pump it is!!
One suggestion. When you park your trailer, always crank the trailer jack down as far as it will go so that the bow is up and the entire boat hull drains towards the stern. That way there's no water (even condensation) left in your hull. And keep your hatches open to allow everything underdeck to airdry out.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
