Kristin, upon reviewing your photos again, it is very hard to see how deep the rigging tunnel is...or whether it has a sump to catch and allow water to drain via a thru hull drain plug or installed bilge pump?? If the designed drainage path is actually into the port side well, then a new drain hole could be drilled on that side even with the existing tank top.
Or GChuba's suggestion about removing the tank, inspecting/renewing it, and raising it to the proper level would restore the limited drainage originally designed in.

The rigging tunnel is very shallow, and carries the wiring, steering cable, and the tank vent. It drains partly onto the tank (I said the drainage arrangement was odd) and partly out the starboard scupper; there is no drain plug.
