I have seen lots of posts on the standing water on R29 in the rear where the thruster is and the other side where the transducer is .. But farther to the outside there is another cavity behind the reserve fluid for the tabs and I'm guessing there is another under the plywood where the batteries go.. Has anyone found drains for these?
Thanks everyone
 
On my R25 there are seep holes right up against the transom. These can easily be left plugged with debris from factory assembly or simply over time crud builds up in the seep holes and plugs them.

Find them, and make sure they aren't plugged using a straightened wire cloth hanger. Just poke the wire through the holes to loosen up any blocking debris.
 
I have taken up the plywood decking in the starboard compartment. There are two drain pipes through the stringer that keep that area dry if not plugged. We have not had any standing water as you describe. You may be able to see them in the bilge but you will need a mirror.
