Hello all. I a wondering if anyone has a similar flybridge setup and found a clever way to drain rain water. The flybridge deck is crowned in the middle, forward to aft as per normal. The boat sits slightly bow high so water drains aft. There are built in seats on either side of the bridge facing forward and aft. Rain water gets trapped ahead of the forward seat. Actually quite a bit more than in the picture. The winter cover is installed and I poured a cup of water on the deck so you could get the idea. You can see two drains that are pvc pipes that exit in the same spot on the aft seat. Even though the outboard drain is just slightly above deck level and not plugged, it never clears the last 1/4 inch of water. Besides making a slimy mess standing water on a teak is not a good thing.
