1995 Dauntless 17 dual console - The compartment under the seat in front of the helm gathers water. Typically this is rain water as this was happening in yard on trailer. Water can move down starboard side under floor but this also then gathers over the gas tank. I do not see a clear line of drainage to the bilge which is directly behind gas tank compartment. it seems that the water should drain out either to the bilge to to the scupper on the starboard side but I do not see a clear line of egress / drainage. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a blockage somewhere? does anyone have a schematic /breakdown of under the floor? Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

I have a 1997 17 Dauntless DC as well and I was having water run into the bilge area from the flooring where the gas tank is when I had it in the water recently. It’s been parked for awhile so could be rain water that got into the haul. Did you ever find any diagrams of the under haul area? I have the wood location diagram, but was looking for a copy of the owner’s manual if you knew where I might be able to find that on this site or online. Thanks Scott
