Stus-List Water Collecting Along Toe Rail
Hello All, I’m guessing I’m not the first one to have this issue, but I haven’t seen it posted since being a list member. My C&C 38 mkII has the usual toe rail with the holes all along it. The holes are about a 1/2” above deck level so only large amounts of water drains from them. There are scuppers next to the cockpit but they are a few inches inboard from the rail, and with the sloping decks, they also only drain water when it gets high. There seems to always be a bit of water sitting along the rail at the low point, and it makes a bit of a mess of the deck when I’m away from the boat and not able to sponge it up. Does anyone have a simple solution besides tearing the deck apart to lower/move the scupper or drilling through the toe rail which would weaken it? Or should I just let evaporation do it’s thing and scrub the deck there whenever I can?

Re: Stus-List Water Collecting Along Toe Rail
This has been discussed numerous times. Most of us just put a piece of cotton line or a sponge through a hole in the toe rail to wick the water over the side. I use lantern wick. It is not recommended to drill deck or toe rail to drain the water. -- Dennis C.

Agreed! Had same issue and picked up same tip here! :) used some old line thru 1 toe rail hole shipped one and then out the next hanging down 6-8 “ each side. Works like a charm !

We followed Dennis’ suggestion of the lamp wick, works great. Paul From: CnC-List on behalf of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2020 12:27:43 PM To: CnClist Cc: Dennis C.
