New Catalina 25 owner and new to this forum. Forgive if I’m doing this wrong

After a rainstorm, my cockpit doesn’t drain well. Seems to be a slope issue, the scuppers are clear.

Has anyone figured out a good solution?

Not sure what year your Cat25 is but thought all are designed for the cockpit to drain via the scuppers. My 1989, the cockpit must have a slight slope toward the stern and so it never has any water that remains in the cockpit and my thoughts are that all were designed that way. So, is it possible you have some significant loads stored toward the bow such as below the vberth area? If I were to see water settling in the cockpit area and observing clear scuppers, I would first suspect if the bilge was filled with water and altered the normal trim of the boat sloping it toward the bow. I would also think that the waterline of the boat would visually indicate if the boat was sloping forward……
There is another possibility…..Do you know if where your boat is docked if the water ever becomes shallow, like at low tide. If so, it is possible, especially with a fin keel which requires more draft but could also happen with a wing keel that during low tide, your keel is touching bottom and altering the waterline or how your boat sits in the water - Possible that at low tide, the cockpit does not drain!
