I took the rod holders out and they had plastic cups "taped" to the bottom of the holders and no sealant between the rail and the holder. They must have leaked water into the foam for quite a while via the rod holders since the tape did not hold the water in the holder well. During my discovery in the area I found two small black plugs in the back lower hull. I unscrewed them and a small amount of water slowly drained from one side for a little while. I think these were installed by Truimph to assist in removing water from the hull liners and they work well. Nothing like going through your boat from top to bottom before taking her out. I am going to leave all the hatches and holes open and let the wind dry everything out. I can then install all the rod holders correctly and know it was done right.
