Water in ski locker rim

[Thunderseye]

Water just sits in the rim of the ski locker, does anyone else have this issue? If so how did you fix it outside of vacuuming it out?

The FSH has a drain there, surprised the 24’ doesn’t have one.

That gutter is supposed to flow aft. There is an adjoining gutter around the fuel hatch that leads aft to the scupper inlet below the engine hatch. If you are on the water, put some weight/stand on the swim platform and see if it flows aft. Is there more water forward in the gutter or is it level all around? I had a similar issue on my 07. https://jetboaters.net/threads/rain-water-pools-at-front-of-bow-floor-while-on-the-water.14264/ If it's on the trailer, jack it up.

I get this all the time. @zipper is exactly correct for how it is designed to be. However, on my boat sitting on the trailer with the bow at 'normal' height, the water just sits there.

Rather than vacuuming (which is an option), crank up the bow of the trailer (if in water, don't worry about it--as soon as you have everyone move aft as @zipper says, the water will run out and next time folks get out of the water it will fill again...).

Or, if you are lazy like me, don't do that, let the water sit there and eventually evaporate. Then a few times a season take some cleaner and wipe out that gutter...

Mine just runs back to the fuel hatch and out the deck drain if it's enough to run. Usually it just evaporates though as mentioned.
