We bought a new 179 a month ago.

We've had it out three times already so it was time for its first wash.

I was giving it a wash yesterday and noticed water was pooling on my roof around the forward plumbing vent.

The pool of water is about 12-18" in diameter around the vent. Looking closer you can see the roof is slightly depressed around all the roof openings but only the one dip is significant enough to collect water.

What's your roof like? Is this something that is relatively common and I shouldn't give it any more thought?

Yes, water pools in places on the roof of our 179. No big deal.
