Yeah Destroyer, no idea why WC designed the V21 that way. No way they did not realize it would be a problem. I am going to do what Reel did - he attached a plastic thru hull fitting to a rubber bearing buddy cover, then connected the bearing buddy cover to the bottom of the rod holder using a stainless steel clamp. Then simply connect a hose that runs back to the bilge. Perfect solution IMO. I just ain't neva got around to it! Plus now that I have a dry place to store the boat it isn't as big a deal.

Here's the link to Oz's post on rod holder drains:

Default rod holders

The rubber plumbing part you can use is called a Gem Cap (Home Depot) I am actuall thinking of cutting the top of the rod boxes and sleeving the rod holder through it. it will only extend down an inch or so , you wont see it and it will for sure drain on deck when those stupid rubber caps break . What do you think
