Hi Smart people,

Overall design maybe or whatever you’d like to call it- rain water ends up running into my wet bar/grill.
I have attached a few pictures, with my chicken scratch. Red indicating current rain water flow. The blue is where I would like to channel some of the water, into the existing ‘gutter’. Blue dot where I could drill a hole/ add fitting, below the counter, and allow the water to Get behind the fridge where sea ray does have two standard drains. In yellow, I figured a good white caulk/sealant would be helpful. I could also try and channel it into the sink basin?
thanks for any ideas, advice, past experience.

Probably better trying to keep the water out. Why not, in the short term, use a small rag/towel to plug the space? Long term, maybe add a rubber flap to the canvas to cover the space?

I like that idea.... I just did something similar by adding to the canvas by a small amount and the canvas guy did a great job where you don't even notice it....he matched the canvas perfect
 
Fill that gap with clear silicone. Keep the water on the outside....where those trusty Sea Ray engineers originally intended it to stay :)
 
Hmm, never gave thought to the canvas. I like that. Definitely filling that gap btw tower base and gunnel w silicone sealant.

Stay tuned, thanks for the suggestions, fellas.
