Hunter 38 deck drainage system

[Sergey Vetrov]

There are three run-outs for water drainage on the deck oh Hunter 38. The problem is that they are not set to the lowest point on the boat at anchor. This is a major problem because this cause a "puddle" to form on the deck which is causing staining of the deck. Is anybody tried to fix it? As I aware the same issue exists on other Hunters... I am thinking about drilling 10mm hole at the lowest point and seal it with epoxy or even glue in small piece of stainless steel pipe. BUT DO NOT WANT to create problem.... Any comment will be great appreciated.

Have the same boat and the same problem. You’d think that when they designed and Built it they’d have made sure to get the angle of the deck right so the water would flow off.
I have not taken steps to fix it but I do use a chamois to wipe the water off those spots to reduce the staining. I’ve found an occasional spray of tilex cleaner will take the stains off.

I know but it is annoying... i have to do it almost every morning when we are on the boat because it hold puddle of condensation... not talking about showers or rainy weather
Looks like I am ready now to come up with solution... could be good to know what is exactly there - fiber over wood or solid fiber, etc.
I will wait for replies - hope somebody done it already... If not - I will be first one and will share my solution
