I would be more concerned why i have water in my ski locker.
No big mystery there. The reason I noticed mine was that I was washing the interior of the boat and had a 5 gallon pail of dirty water that I didn't want to hurt myself or risk spilling all over the side of the boat and other stuff in the garage, taking down. So I figured I'd dump it in there, it would drain through the bilge, out the drain plug and into the floor drain right below it. Most of it was still there today.
We also store a tube in there that always drains more water on the trip home.
I just kind of assumed that if there was a drain there, it should drain. I could be wrong, but probably not
BTW - two PVC laths slid in from the engine compartment did the trick. There were two strips of dense foam tape that the tank sits on, it looks like they're supposed to provide enough clearance under the tank to allow the water to drain. But on mine that foam was compressed so much that the tank sat right on the bottom of the hull and sealed out any drainage. I figured I wanted something under there that would give it support but would also give just a little and not wear into the tank.
Also, my tank was completely empty (i siphoned the remaining and visually verified that) and it was still very difficult to raise. Its like it was wedged into the space. I was expecting a couple hour project and it turned into 4 - 5 hours.
