Hi Jorgeinmiami:
If you store your stuff in the front of the CC you run the risk of saltwater overspray. When running your boat at 30 MPH into the seas salt water will hit the front of the CC and try to penetrating into the tackle trays, kind of like the pressure of a hose with salt water doing its best to get in the opening. Some trays are more water tight then others but all trays can suffer from some salt water penetration.
I hate seeing my expensive fishing tackle rust out instead of ware out.
