Stus-List autopilot location

In 2003 I mounted the control head on the cabin bulkhead next to the companionway. It came with a wired remote that I thought I would locate at the wheel. Never got that done. The bulkhead location worked well for raising and lowering sails and for running long legs offshore or up the Delaware.

Ok, it's now raining and I getting worried. Is it possible to sink these boats with a cockpit full of rain water? My gut feel is that the boat has more buoyancy that the weight of the water that would fill the cockpit (but not fill it so high that it reaches the companionway) but I don't know. I
