Roger,
On my boat, the lazzerette does not drain into the bilge. I have Rum Runner 
on the hard doing some upgrades and I will be installing a bilge pump in the 
cabin area. Never thought I'd need one until out radical sailing proved me 
wrong. I've never had more than a sponge worth of water in the Lazzerette, 
usually from my cleaning with a pressure hose. My boat usually sits on the 
end of a dock, away from trees, so that's not a problem for me. 
What would be wrong with installing some stainless steel vents on the face of 
the lazzerette, giving more ventilation and also allowing any large 
quantities of water to drain into the cockpit?
