Rainwater drain on hartop gunnel

Post by thinwater »

On my 32 there is a 3/8" drilled hole on each side about 18" aft of the front edge. Was this stock or was it added by a PO?

It drips on the Strataglass and slowly makes a streak. It's not really in the best place. Near the aft edge of the canvas would be better. Larger would also be better. Just wondered.

They were probably drilled at the factory as my boat has them also. I added a couple more for better drainage.
