    What's this lead to and why is it dripping water now?

    My boat was summarized about 3 weeks ago. Since then it's been sitting in my driveway. I haven't started it or done anything to it besides replacing the spark plugs and replacing ballast impellers. Now today, it's dripping water from underneath and I have no idea why or what this leads to. I crawled underneath and it's definitely water. We did get rain yesterday but the boat is covered. Maybe it has something to do with that (hopefully).

    It's near the center of the boat.

    Looks like the drain port to me. Do you have the drain plug in ??

      Agreed, it looks like the bilge drain hole. Even covered, it probably gets a little water in it from rain.

        Drain plug is not in and I'm guessing some rain may have got in underneath the cover (there was some wind too). However, it feels to me like where the water is draining from is nowhere near the drain plug. Drain plug is just in front of the engine and this drain is more in the center of the boat.

          That sure looks like a garboard drain plug.

            Any chance you have 2 drain plugs?

              ChatGPT says it has two but I've never seen the second one. The one I usually pull is the one back by the bilge.

              The 2015 Super Air Nautique 210 typically has two drain plugs. One is located at the transom, and the other is situated in the center of the bilge. These plugs are essential for draining water from the hull when the boat is out of the water. Always refer to the owner's manual or consult with the manufacturer or a certified dealer to ensure you have accurate information specific to your boat model.

                Did you summerize it or the dealer? If the dealer I'll bet you have a drain plug MIA - maybe shine a light up thru the hole or snake something thru it and see where it goes!
