Hey Ill, the boat is almost ready, I found the source of the water is it is the starboard side of the stringer in the bilge. Everytime I get the bilged area dried out, we have gotten a biog rain so I ahve been able to glob the new "rule" in as of yet. The transom drains are in sealed and ready to go, interestly I only got water from the starboard side. I would bet big money on water from the port since I had some come out of one of the screw holes when I replaced the old speedo tube (which was on the port side). Anyways, just a little more rule and a quick trip to the mechanic for it 200 hour tune up and it will be ready for the new season! .
As for your question Aussie, I am assuming your talking about the problem of water entering through the transom and filling the fish boxes? If so, I am fortunate and have not had that problem with the 2004 hull, unless the drain gets plug in one of the boxes. I keep piece of weedeater line in the boat to fish out the drains if I do have an issue. Now on my 2000 210 hull I did have a serious issue with water breaching the transom and filling the fish boxes, I solved this issue by removing the scuppers (the ones between the transom and cockpit) and getting two rubber stoppers that fit the holes (Home depot had them). I would plug these holes and never had and issue with water coming in again. As for the panel question, it is the switch to the right of the bilge switch
