F28 Engine room cover drainage

I am in the process of rehabing my F28, it is sitting high and dry on cribbing. When it rains the bilge gets a considerable amount of water which I pump out. The only place I can determine it is coming from is the engine room hatchs. It appears to be designed to channel the water to the port and starborard corners of the hatch opening. On each corner one sees a round protusion that appears to be part of a drain system. If that is the case where should it drain to? (maybe there shoould be tee into the deck scupper lines then overboard?). Any other ideas or thoughts as I am of a mind to place some type of small draining fitting there but don't want to alter how the factor had it designed.

That is what I did... T into the scuppers.

I added through hull fittings and drained the deck channels through them. I put them in lower then the deck scupper so I would get better drainage.
