I have to echo Bill’s sentiments One of the more annoying things with a boat not level is water pooling inside the boat. When I run antifreeze thru shower sump, bilge pumps, cooler pumps etc I have to manually sponge out any excess since the pickups are no longer in the lowest points.

For some reason, it has been passed down through the ages at our club that you tilt the boat back to drain. I have explained to the guys several times that boats drain properly only when they are level and they miss the holes when they tilted . I hold a level on the water line and we block it till it is level both ways. I imagine when they leave they talk about me like I'm some kind of crazy guy. Like Foghorn Leghorn sez, you can't argue with logic.

Hi all, I have a question on boat stands and aft tilting of the boat while on the hard. I find water drainage on most C&C designs to be horrible. I’ve tackled the issues many times but this one keeps coming back to haunt me. When the boat is in water, a while back I made drain holes at what appeared to be the lowest point on deck. So when boat is properly loaded and equipped, the deck drains pretty good. Well all that changes once the boat is out of the water as the yard props it so that everything is tilting aft. So now water collects about few feet further aft. Year after year this tilting changes based on how they setup the stands at the time of haulout. No matter what you do (I’ve drilled pilot holes in aluminum toerail), I always have submerged pulpit stanchions bases. For me these carry a significant load(solar panels, support the wind generator and 15HP outboard on pulpit mount) Well in the winter, ice works the base screws on stanchions and before you know it you get leaks and wet core. I would love to prop the aft stands and lower the forward ones so that the boats sits more level and the water collects where my drain holes are. Has anyone done this or will doing this disturb how the keel sits on the wooden blocks? My thought was to just prop the aft ones but then I realized that they all need to be adjusted slightly.
