Got my list squared away on my 215 Osp. Sport. There was no water in any compartments. The boat was dry. I split up my batteries; one to port. I moved the starboard one towards the engine and put the other against the starboard wall with my VRO tank closer to the engine. Ran into a problem with the bilge outlet tho. The bat and the VRO tank would not fit unless I put an elbow on the thru-hull fitting and loop the hose behind my port rodholer with a straight extension on the hose. For some reason, the bilge pump would lose its prime and stop pumping water until I gave it a shot from the garden hose back into the hull fitting. Corrected this by running a 13" straight pipe between the hose and elbow. Everything is fine now and also piece of mind knowing there was no trapped water. housedocter
