I have just found the manual. As I read it you do the fuel drains until all signs of water has disappeared and then gently shake the wings , lower the tail and then redo the drains. Is that correct? Seems sensible to me as the first drain would have removed the risk of dispersing the water already in the sump. I don’t fly the type but it would be nice to know as it is a safety concern.
