I have a similar issue on my 37 the water drain groove and scuppers are always full because the drain is below the waterline. The low spot along toe rail is about 2-3 ft in front of the scupper so water sits here and also in the groove leading to the scupper. I am so tempted to drill a small hole right there at the low point is this a real no no ? if I just drill through the toe rail even 1/4 quarter-inch maybe ? not the bottom part, just the lowest part of the side of rail to minimize puddle?

The two different Toe Rails are identical except the forward section has twice as many of the holes in the side per foot to clip snatch block, etc. to. That joint isn't what you're seeing is it? It seems to me on my friend's Mk.1 there is that same saw cut that nicks the deck and the hull deck joint edge, almost like they cut the Toe Rail on the boat wile assembling it. Have another look.

I could see where the saw blade nicked the deck slightly below, and it also exposed the hull-deck joint edge. While this seems like a *really* bad idea, and quite a difficult hack to reverse (I think the toerails are continuous), it also got me wondering how others have solved this problem. In our wet climate, allowing water to pool promotes lots of nasty stuff, which I assume was the reason for this ugly hack job. I suppose one could hide it by attaching a short section of toe rail or similar material on top of the cut, while still allowing water to drain. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
