So I think I came up with a solution other than silicone and screws which does work until you need to check your genset oil! Or clean a strainer I noticed that there are three drain tubes one on each side of the deck and one attached to the hatch I am going to install a shower sump box and connect all three drains to it. The problem now is that the two drains on each side drain to the stringers and not to the center where the bilge pump would be able to pump it out the water it just sits in the stringer sections off center on each side! It is a very poor design.problem is where do I pipe the outlet from the sump box? Any suggestions?
 
1) you could get longer drain hoses and run them into the center, like I did.
2) if you go sump route (which seems like overkill to me, you could T the hose into the bilge drain hose, after the loop which prevents backflow.
 
3) since they originate at a level higher than the waterline, you could cut a new hole in the hull and use gravity to drain (just like the cockpit drains do, eliminating need for a pump.
 
#1 is the easiest. You could see if you can tap into an overboard line if a little water bothers you.
