You can not drain while in the water,  it will syphon in and sink the boat.   I had a customer about 4 years ago do the same thing in a 282.  The problem was he left the boat while still draining.  And yes is was resting on the bottom at the pier about 3 days later.  The bilge tried to keep up and did so until the batterys ran dead.  Al

That's good to know.  Thanks Al.  Could have sworn I've done it in the past in the slip.  I'm losin' it. grin
