I keep all 3 drain plug on wet compartment
Fuel tank and engine compartment close
What you recommend and also when I’m home
I turn on the bilge pump level up the bow and the water that comes out smell like sewer water any help on this matter thank you
 
Boat in water bilge should be on auto mode.

Compartment Plugs out will allow it to drain easier.

Only the wet compartment plug out ?
I hate to leave all plug out and get my engine flooded
 
All of the time. If you keep them in, each compartment can fill up. If out all or most water ends up in bilge and either will be pumped out or drained out of the bilge
 
I just lift the front trailer need to be 6 ft from floor to bow light and all the stall water came out of the transom drain plugs . Under six feet water stay in the boat wow
 
The jack came with the trailer is to small so I had to put a brick underneath to get it to that height

When you say auto mode means keep switch on with light on ?

Every model is slightly different. But bilge switch on some boats have 3 positions....Auto/On/Off.
  1. Auto = is on but pump only runs if water is present. (in this situation the pump is activated but not actually pumping all the time)
  2. On = pump forced on regardless of water. (don't want to leave a pump on- running - all the time)
Yours probably only has two positions - Auto/Off.
