    I'm not 100% certain on the Z268, but on my Z280, there's a midship bilge pump under the step going down into the cabin. This should pump out the starboard side with the sink and shower outlets. This pump is in wired in with the main engine bilge pump switch on the dashboard. My guess is your midship bilge may not be working correctly, or the automatic float may need to be cleaned.
