How can I determine if the cockpit on my 2001 38' open has a suitable deck reinforcement to accept a fighting chair or battle station?

there is a black rubber groove in the floor  when you walk up the stairs from the deck to the captains area, water always gathers on this straight black line, i have a carpeted mat over it but my carpet always gets soaked and im afraid the rubber backing on the carpet will get mold, any solutions for this???

i mean from the bottom deck , up the stairs , thats where the black grooved line is before you get into cockpit area, hope this better explains....thank you
