On that side of boat, two outside holes are there. One is bigger than the other. Tried snaking from outside. No luck! Any one have this problem with drainage in your boat? Thought about drilling hole through drains and have water go into bildge. Boat is made where their are no panels to remove and look.

I own a mariah z218 and I have the same problem that the porta potty stall has drain in floor.
I have some kind of leak were this hole area fills up with water 10-15 gal and it does not drain.
I and up using a wet dry vacum cleaner to remove the water and I also have vacum at drain point.
I have the transom drain plug removed every year and I think there be a problem with having water stil
sitting in drain line over the winter. My boat has drain points on the starboard and port sides foward
of the transom approx along side the operator seat area. I think some on else had a ball come out this
could be check valve ball which allows water to go out but stops water from coming in.
