PC Swim ladder drain

Okay, this seems silly to me, but hey, maybe someone just wasn't thinking one day.

The swim ladder cutout on my 2003 37PC, has a drain in it. I just assumed tha it went overboard. Well, from what I can tell, it goes to a little square shaped hold up high in the bilge then once it gets full, dumps into the lower bilge.

This past winter our boat was pulled and shrink wrapped. In the spring I noticed a fair amount of water in the bilge. Before they pulled it, it was completely dry as it always is. Only place that it may have come from is this drain. I'd like to resolve this before winter.

Anybody noticed this before and maybe I should consider a re-route into the octopus using a t-fitting from one of the other drains.

Thought?

Wow...so on all three of my Formula's, this cutout drained directly underneath the swim platform...not sure why it is different on the 37's, seems very strange. But for sure I would do something to re-route it, this makes no sense.

However, careful how you do this as it MIGHT freeze up if thaw / freeze cycles, etc.
