Sloping Cockpit Locker Lids

[LONG_KEELER]

I now have some excellent hard wood for my new locker lids. They lie on top of a fibreglass base with a gutter all round.

I do most of my sitting on these as they are next to the tiller.

I have now suddenly realised that they need to be sloping so that water will not run off and leave a pool. This has lead to former efforts to deteriorate and rot.

The thickness is only 15mm so I doubt if I could take off much ( even if I new how). Also, they need to be fairly flush with remaining fibreglass seating.

Any thoughts on how I could engineer a sloping solution while still having all sides touching the fibreglass ? The grey cells seem to be in a lethargic mood at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Put a heavy weight on the side-deck when the boat is moored?

You could put say, three graduated blocks of wood under each slat so that the lying water was mainly involved with the fibreglass.
