I just walked out and looked at my boat, cover still on it. But there are 2 drains on the sides up front. I think other hatch for the second drain is under each console. From what I remember that is the fun one to see in. U have to lay down with your upper body in the console door trying to look into the hatch access. don't forget your flashlight.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I got some thru hulls changed out with new hoses. I looked at the fuel lines they look Good. But the fuel vent line...... that bad boy doesn’t appear to be attached to anything. Shouldn’t the fuel vent line starch to a vent somewhere?? I gave it a very soft tug and it just appears to go to the bottom of the boat

That could be a really BIG DEAL. On my ‘85 I/O, the vent is close to the fill cap. On mine, if my vent hose was laying in the bottom of the boat, and I hit some waves, it could dump fuel in the bilge and could easily blow up the boat.

Please don’t start up or turn on anything that might spark until it’s resolved.

Should be a couple of inspection plates over the fuel tank that allow you to see the connection at the tank.

UPDATE:::::

Water leak resolved. Changed some thru hulls added some sealant on others. Bought a new bilge pump and changed the old bilge pump.

As for the fuel vent hose.. yeah I found the vent up near the fuel area. Got out on the water. Caught some rock fish some calico bass and some sheep head. Great day out there today. Thanks everyone!!
