Question

Ok. I wound up removing the fish box liner or tub with a jigsaw. I cleaned up the area and mounted my battery and remote oil tank inside. I know water drained to the back bilge area but now wonder if I should have opened it up with a larger drainhole? The rain water just drains very slowly into the bilge pump area from the old live well . Worried that a large rainstorm might fill that area faster than it drains off into the bilge pump area and short out the battery or get water into my oil tank.

Mine does the same. There is actually a little ridge on mine so that area never really dries. But I also haven't had it fill up to much and certainly to overflow. I just made sure the water had a nice clean path to run to the bilge once the boat got up on an angle
