My boat had drain holes near the front of the bench seat and near the lazarette.  I enlarged them. One thing to note is that water going through the aft hole can run along the underside of the seat and drip into the lazarette. A bit of sealant aft of the hole should break the surface tension so that water does not travel aft.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Bench drains

Greetings all, another drilling question. Has anyone ever drill additional bench drain hole on the inside trough of the bench? I'm thinking a drain hole before the lazzerette would allow water to drain to the floor drain of the cockpit. Debris hopefully would continue to the stern where clogs seem to occur frequently.
