I agree with Chris. The Sea Hood is what keeps your cabin dry. Older 
sliding hatch designs allowed water in the cabin when you had sea water 
sloshing around on deck. Be thankful that the water is draining into the 
cockpit instead of the cabin. It's designed that way. If there's a lot 
of dirt coming out of the drain channels, maybe there is an opportunity 
for cleaning the channels to get rid of the accumulated dirt. You might 
be able to use a long handled flexible bottle brush and some spray 
cleaner to get up in the channels and clean them out so there's only 
water draining out.
