23 Center Console Forward Fishbox Drain

[Chrismacholz]

I've got a 1987 23 CC and the big fishbox under the casting deck has a molded in drain on the starboard side, but it's useless because it sits under the waterline. I don't use it as a fishbox, but occasionally i'll get some rainwater in there and there's no way to drain it.

Has anyone remedied this? Cut a drain to the bilge?
