Sometimes after a decent rain, one or the other cockpit cubbies on my '87 C22 will get a couple inches of water in it. This doesn't seem ideal, particularly since that's where I store the tails of my jib sheets and furling line. I've been thinking about drilling a small hole in them to drain out to the cockpit, but I'm always a little weird about adding new holes to my boat. Has anyone else done this? Does it seem like a bad idea?

My 1988 has about an 1/8" or 3/16" hole at the front and back of the each cubby. Of course the lower the holes in the cubby the better, just not too low

Cool. I'm going to try it.
