Water in your ski locker?

[Britboater]

After a relaxing day to the beach with just me and my wife, I returned in fairly calm condictions. While washing the boat down I happen to just look in the ski locker to find a little water, really strange I thought, it hadn't even been opened while out and we certainly didn't bring any water into the boat with us.
Thinking about it, there was another job I needed to do to help Yamaha complete the manufacturing of my boat. Yes, found the culprit .




Now I know there have been a few threads covering reasons of ski locker water and the unbelievable anchor drain hole abomination but I was astonished how much water actually came in via this "hole in my boat"
While at anchor on the beach we had a good chop coming head on, so the boat was rising and falling and the said hole was being submerged, so letting water into the anchor locker but after realising I'd found the Cause of water in my ski locker, I filled the anchor locker with water, like I do after every outing to wash the anchor rope, I looked into the ski locker to see water running down from the front of the boat.

Not sure about everyone else but I'm getting a little fed up with having to finish the build of my sieve which Yamaha try to pass off as a boat.

Subsequently, I have definitely noticed a substantial drop in the amount of water that drains from my boat after each use.

Check out this thread. #Important Summary of Anchor Locker Drain Issue - Attention FSH and 21 Foot owners! I found a scupper (link in other post) that might be the same size/diameter and be a great fix. It will allow water to drain out but not in, and it can be sealed on both sides.

Yep. That is horrible.
Good news though, it is an easy fix, as much as it is a pathetic QC issue.
