Water in the nose of my zapcat

The other day when i was pushing my zapcat around on the trailer i noticed a sloshing sound in the fron of the hull. The water gets in there from behind the information plate which is rivited in place. Does any1 no anyway i can get the water out and stop it getting in there because it may get to the stage were its performance effecting when racing this year.

Would be worth giving Adam or Kieran a ring at the Rib Centre as they sell them and see if a bung can be fitted to the hull. they recently moved to Eastlands Boat yard on the Hamble from Saxon Wharf so worth checking to see if you have the lastest phone numbers for them.

If you can't fit a bung low down, then I have a suction thingy for changing oil on an engine which works well at removing bilge water etc, just need a small hole in the deck above the lowest point in the hull.
