It is has been my understanding from talking to the triumph rep some years ago, (Back when I had my Logic) that the wells were part of the structural design to add strength to the transom. This actually makes sense, but does pose the annoyance that we have all come to deal with one way or another. Personally, I installed some brass garboards on each of the cover plates and drain them when needed. If this gets too be too often, I pull the covers, clean it up, and “rule” the **** out of it again (one tube per well). While this is a pain, I take it as trade out for not having to wax my boat!
With that said, I have often wondered why the engineers at Triumph have not resolved this issue as of yet. I understand that the covers can’t be “welded” into place as if you did develop a leak, getting the water out would be an even bigger chore. But at the same time I do not understand why these wells can not be made to drain into the bilge area? For example, as we all know the rear seat compartment on the starboard side drains nicely into the bilge area. This is because, the control cable and wire harness are routed thru there. So if this can be done, why is not done for the two transom wells and the port side rear compartment? Just a thought.
