OK, this isn't that bad then.
When a boat is made and they section all the little compartments off, they drill holes to allow every compartment to ultimately drain into the bilge. Those holes are called limber holes. So if only one section is holding water, you may have a plugged limber hole. You should pump, bucket, or sponge all of the water out of that one compartment and really clean it out, find the little limber holes and clean them out too. Everything should be allowed to drain to the bilge.
