What about this???

I checked the port side drain and it looks original. There is no extra wedge stuck on and puttied/marine-texed over as you saw in the pic.Although there is some putty around the drain tube on the starboard side . I think someone along the line replaced the tubes and puttied them in. The port side is smooth and in line with the hull,no addtional ramp.In the pic you can see that there is a slight gap between the front edge and the hull, when it gets light this morning I,m going to try to pry it off.

The wedge is not the problem. The problem is the concave area behind the wedge - it acts as a scoop, your scupper tube needs to be lengthened and the entire cavity should be filled and faired flush with the hull say 6" in front of the wedge and 6" behind the back edge of the recessed area. You might scrape the paint off the wedge but I would suggest you not be too hasty in removing it. Heres a picture of mine. scupper tube is behind the wedge maybe 1/4" or less centered behind the 3" wedge
