Just bought a 250 DC at the beginning of the season.... LOVE the boat, but 2 nagging problems...
1) The way the channels for Isinglass are designed for the front windshield, they actually COLLECT rainwater and then funnel it right onto the helm console, radio, and port dashboard..
VERY IRRITATING !! Any solutions??
2) Freshwater (i.e.rain) collects to a pretty large degree in the mid bilge, it is handled by the bilge pump.. but it is a fairly large amount !! Where is it coming from?? Anyone else have that problem ??

Is the mid bilge the one that you access through the hatch in the head? If so, I also always have water in there. I poked around a bit while I was cleaning the boat and I'm fairly positive the rain gets in from two places: the forward hatches with the windlass and the starboard side seat hatch. Both of those appear to drain down there. The stern bilge seems to never have water in it because those hatches are gasketed and have drains that go overboard.
 
Thanks for the reply princecaspian.... those are my thoughts also...
