Just got back from a little trip. Had plugged the bait well drain on the transom but forgot to tightly close the screw valve in the bait well. Found some water in there when I got back. But, I swamped the engine well and it did not drain until I removed the plug I had put on the bait well drain. I also had a plug on the drain in the bait well itself, so I know water from the engine well did not flush back into the bait well... Next test will be with the screw valve closed real tight! I assume joeygumbo you had it closed, right?
I think we can always clamp a hose on the screw valve and run the other end down the drain... that should keep the place dry most of the times... unless you do a hard reverse...
