Water in the key hole under the dog house lock plates.

Hey guys,
I took a buddy and son mudding for the son's thirteenth birthday. It was great and were in some of the deepest water I have run in for years. We had water coming under the dog house and I spent a good part of today pulling weeds from all over the engine. Anyway, I noticed a problem I had not seen in years which was water pooling in the key holes in the floor for the dog house locking plates. I'd rather not leave it there and I have pulled a few body plugs below that area but with no result. Any tips? Thanks as always. - Buzz

Wet-dry vac followed by WD-40?

Had the same issue. There are drain holes for those but often the undercoating fills them up and water stays in. Use an awl and clear the holes at the bottom of them and the water should drain out then follow the suggestion in the previous post.
