This anchor locker "water entry" is the genesis of my questions.
As documented in another post, I remain in search of the source of water intrusion on S/V Bali Ha'i that finds its way to the bilge. I have checked several possible sources so far and have had limited to no success in locating the source(s) of water intrustion.
While inspecting the anchor locker on my CD 25D I noticed that there is no lip at all at the forward tip of the locker cover, a very tiny lip around the remainder of the locker, and a nice drainage funnel on the starboard side of the anchor locker (for the anchor rode or chain to exit the anchor locker) that should be excellent for funneling rain water into the locker.

Question: Assuming a significant amount of water can enter the anchor locker through the locker cover where does this water accumulate

Question: Does some of it drain out through what may be a very small hole in the hull forward on the port side

Question: Does water that gets into the anchor locker drain into the bilge
