LSUTIGER, The water in the inner hull can enter through several means, all of which may not be preventable. Your install of the inner hull drain is the best way to eliminate the accumulation of excess water in the inner hull. In simple terms, it is a problem will all have to live with.

The glob of rule at the transom does cover a stainless stringer and bolts that hold it together. If you have water coming out around that spot, you have water in the inner hull and you need to install the hull drain. Just a fact of life with these boats. If the water turns rusty looking then you should probably remove all the rule and reseal the area after it dries. (no easy task).

JERGOFISH, I think the drain you mention is the factory installed bilge drain that is standard on all the boats, all years, as is the raceway from the motor well to the bilge for cables and wiring. The inner hull drain is the end user installed drain to rid the hull of accumulated water in the foam area between the inner and outer hull.
