Default 1998 Z260 engine vents allow tons of rainwater in bilge
I have noticed so get tons (crazy amounts) of rainwater in the bilge that is coming in thru the engine vents. I am going to put an awning or modify the cents to avoid all this water from coming in.
Anyone got any ideas?

    You're sure its rainwater and not due to a small split in the outdrive bellows?
