I had the same problem, Even raised and lowered the CB to clear the line.
Plus when heeled the water gets awfully deep on the seats before it reaches the center board drain with bow down.

I've thought of the same thing, so I'm curious to hear some responses.  Mark
tells me the water is supposed to drain down the centerboard line hole, but
mine has a thicker line than his and tends to get clogged with junk and not
drain well.

Had the Rhodes 22 out in a real down pour Sunday.
With the girls in the cabin and close hauled the rain water built up in the
forward area of the seat drain track and seat. The forward Corners have no
drains. The result was wet bottoms.

My thought was to drill some drain holes in the forward Corners of the seat
drain tracks and let the water drain to the cockpit floor.

Any comments, suggestions?
