Default Re: KEEPING STUFF DRY??

Question: How do you keep things dry in this hatch???
Build a Cuddy Cabin over it!

How do the top tier boat manuf do it? I will take a look at my buddys SeaVee, but they are set up with fish holds with drains into the bilge. If i recall correctly they have large lips and large channels througout the floor and is a different layout anyhow.

I used some inexpensive foam stick on strip from Home Depot that helped my aft hatches more with rattling. I am sure it helps seal but mine are not as exposed.

If you can slow it down, some type of rubber mat in the bottom/sides to elavate may help water from wicking into the dry bags.

My rear hatches tend to pool up before draining into the bilge. I leave a large sponges in each box to ring out the trapped water.

There may not be any useful info in this post(or any other post ), but i keep trying ....
