I’ll make an attempt to answer this…. The boat is basically made in a mold with the inner and outer hull being one piece. The process is rotational molding where they put raw material in the mold in powder or granular form. The mold is closed, heated and rotated until all the material is melted and evenly distributed in the mold. I described this process so you can get an idea about the void left between the lower and upper hulls. This is the void that is filled with foam. This area is presumed to be sealed and water tight except for a few areas where components are installed i.e. rod holders, bow panel etc. Some of us have had problems with water getting into this “sealed” area and desire to drain it. Some have suggested that the center stringer will catch all the water and this is where the extra drain should be located on the 190. I have not installed one on by boat yet but it is at the top of my list when things thaw out here.
