How do you get any remaining water out of the bilge if your boat has no drain plugs?
 
Your profile doesn't list a boat, but can't imagine yours doesn't have one. Looks like shop vac time.
 
Sorry. It's a Meridian 341 Sedan Bridge. Maybe it has plugs. I never saw them. I thought only trailerable boats had them.

I guess shop vac is the way to go. There shouldn't be too much water anyway. Bilge pumps get most of it out but there is a little well at the shaft logs where water collects. I could just use a rag to get it out.
 
I never saw any inboard boats without a couple of drain plugs, usually one forward and one aft. All of my Searays and Silvertons have had them. Maybe the Meridians don't?
 
They're probably in the bottom, not on the transom.
 
On my Carver there is one drain plug under the engine...It's a pain to get at...For the first 2 years I owned it I didn't think it had one...I would think that the Meridian 341 Sedan Bridge also will have a plug somewhere...
