Very Clean Job Handful

The I/O engine compartment floor is easily removed. (I didn't have the skill to do water channels in the hatch - a future project.)

BTW: You can fabricate some water channels very quickly to your existing floor hatch. I made these to mine before my transom enclose.

1.) Cut some 3/4" or 1" PVC Pipe in half on the table saw
2.) Cut to length & glue in some 90* nylon drains to the back corners
3.) Adhere the channels together & then to the inside of your hatch with 2 part epoxy paste.
4.) Connect the 2 drains to a "T" then funnel out to an existing thru hull or to one of the self bails

Use these or the like by cutting off the excess threads after you epoxy them in flush to the back corners of the PVC Channels



Connect them to a "T" then tie them into one of the self bails or too an existing thru hull




Finished & Painted Water Channels
