Ya, I wouldn't order one with carpet again either. How do you keep rain/water out of your in floor locker? (assuming you have that option.)

It's self draining so water goes right out. Only items that can get wet are stored there like anchor and rope, etc, etc.

Drains into the middle pontoon, right? I think that's where in goes on my Premier.

The storage area in your middle pontoon on your Premier has a baffled drain area in the rear. Any water that gets in simply goes out this rear drain hole. It does not drain "into" the pontoon. You should check it occasionally to ensure drain is not blocked by leaves, pine needles and other similar debris.

I hope their device works better than their website

If it drained into your pontoon you would be in tough shape...They always drain overboard.

HMMM.. I had some water in my middle pontoon when it was winterized. I'll have to have it checked out in the spring.

A small (less than a cup) is normal as condensation occurs over the summer months. Hopefully you drained it all out as any water left in will freeze and pop open welds.

Yes, drained and the plugs are out. (Hoping I don't have that "OH CHIT" moment when I relaunch)
A friend with a similar Premier also had some water in his middle pontoon. They found that the seal around the in floor locker was leaking somehow when water splashed up while underway. Not sure how this can happen as the bottom is all aluminum.
I'll have that checked when it's prepared for re launch.
