I recall that on my boat, I have holes on each side (stb & prt) of the "molded pan" you have described. This seems to drain most all water that may make its way into and under the area of the mid cabin bunks. As for some of the area forward and aft of this area I have just assumed that Schock would have provided for drainage, hopefully into and though these same holes I described.

Subject: Void areas between pan and hull

Question:
As far as I can tell there is nowhere for water to drain from between the moulded pan and the hull directly forward and directly aft of the keel bolt sump. Am I wrong here? does the void between the galley/nav station floor and the hull somehow drain to the sump? I am sure that if not these voids would over the years collect some water (weight). i am tempted to put an inspection port in on centerline just forward of the motor box, and just aft of the head grating sump so I can assure myself that the boat is really COMPLETELY dry.
Thoughts?
