no drain plug in Zodiac Hurricane 640 with Volvo diesel

[Tu Tama]

I feel pretty stupid asking this question but how do I get the water out of the bilge. The Volvo drive sits so low there is no room for a drain plug. So I'm kinda lost how to get the water out... Am I missing something?

There is a bilge pump and its pumped out to below that pump but it's still holding quite a bit of water down there.

Thanks

My old one had a drain plug located under the Volvo. Not very easy to reach

I’ll have to look more closely but I don’t think you could get one under mine. Not sure what those weird rubber things are either? Any thoughts on those?

Many inboard powered boats dont have drain plugs my delta has no drain in the engine bay so I sponge out what the pump cant clear

I tend to use one of those oil suction/vacuum pumps to grab the last bit from the very back of the engine compartment that the main bilge pump can't clear, mainly because it's a bit hard to get a sponge all the way down there!

i use one of those drill pumps ,useless all your life ,but actually since the battery drill ,"fantastic for reaching awkward spaces with a piece of garden hose on
