Thanks for everybodys help so far still trying to figure things out getting almost to the point of taking it to someone but im an hvac mechanic and i figure if I can find a leak in a cooler I can find it in a pontoon that being said I need to get the water out of the toons before the first freeze no drain plugs in the bottom 3 on top can I syphine the water out through the top

I am surprised there is no drain plug.

Where are these three plugs located exactly? Are there 3 because the pontoons are segmented internally??

To get the water out, if you don't have a shop vac, get a manual bilge pump. They are handy to have around anyway.

Or better one with a hose on the input side, also handy to have around and cheap

Now the real question is how much water is in the pontoon and how did it get there. If it's more than a tiny bit do as above and rig a rubber raft or bike pump and some soapy water to find where they are leaking.
