Hi Mate! Nothing to be confused about. Simply put, some water enters the inner hull. I don't know exactly where the water entered mine but it can enter from a number of places; rod holders, around the CC, around any piece of hardware, deck joints, maybe even condensation and the inner hull drain is the fix for getting it out. Triumph doesn't seem to be concerned so maybe its not an issue. Maybe it only happens in isolated cases-honestly I don't know. Installing the add'l drain is very simple. Simply bore a 1" hole about 6 or 8 inches deep and at the same height as the deck drains, caulk and screw the new assembly in place-The part costs about 18.00US and is available from any Triumph dealer. It takes about 10 minutes and in my case it was well worth it because mine has been dripping for about 2 weeks now-Its a relatively slow drip and I can't measure how much water escaped but it certainly doesn't belong there and I'm certain my boat will be several pounds lighter when it dries out. Good Luck with your 190!
