Removed the long drain tube and found free moisture in the foam. Not dripping, but wet to the touch. I've been running the blower for a while now with it blowing into the inside hole - the air is about 100F and I'm getting a high velocity air stream out the transom hole. Good conditions for the diffusion of the moisture into the air stream. The foam is now totally dry to the touch. The technique seems to work quite well. I'll keep running the blower to further dry the foam because it will be very effective in scavenging moisture. As I said earlier- it's virtually impossible to quantify the results but it does well qualitatively.
