I just purchased a 2006 model 231 Fundeck.  What is the purpose of the well under the rear seat? It seems to hold water. How do you drain or pump the water out?

    Welcome to the Owners Forum!

    Usually compartments like what you are describing have a drain hole in them to direct water into the bilge area.  Is it possible that the drain hole is plugged?

    The well was originally for a Porta-Potti. I threw mine away when we bought the boat and the drain tube does get clogged from time to time so I just jet it out with garden hose. Actually, I wish I could direct some of the deck run off into that well as it is a straight shot to the through-hull drain whereas the drains at the helm seat and by the transom step-through are routed such that they almost always need help draining.
