My rear baitwell had a couple inches of water in it though I've never turned the pump on. I don't use the livewells or baitwells for anything but dry storage. I pulled the drain plug once home with the boat on the trailer and the water wouldn't drain. Any ideas? I don't think the line is plugged as I cover all the fill and drain holes during winter storage to prevent any critters getting in. I just pulled the boat out of storage and made one outing with it to date. This is my second season with it. Never had water in it last year.
