[QUOTE="ericman, post: 387946, member: 11909"] It takes many years for those to get all clogged up. The problem is that internal ribs are not sealed up tight to the inside of the hull, SO the inside of those ribs are probably filled up with dirt, debris, caramelized oil, etc.... Honestly, your best bed would be to remove the floor and pressure wash the snot out of those ribs and drain channels, etc.. If your floor is good, simply re-install it. IMHO, running wires or something might help it drain for a little bit but all that debris under the ribs WILL work its way into those channels again. Do it right once and it will be many years before you need to do it again. PLUS, with the floor out, if you have waterlogged foam or any other issue, mechanical or fuel line, or electrical, that is the time to fix that as well. [/QUOTE]
