The 15 will self-bail with the plug out. I used to leave my plug out at the lake but it seems I remember the water filling the sump and getting a little onto the deck. Water on the deck in itself is not a problem on the mooring. The problem comes from marine growth if the water stays too long on the deck. The front locker will drain empty sitting still in the water I believe. If the back of the boat sits too low consider leaving a little weight in the front to raise the stern while on the mooring. It really goes back to Joe’s advice. Pull the plug and see how she sits. The amount of water on the floor is all that will be there after the rain.
