Float material advice
I’ll try to add some pics later...
Between the aft bulkhead and mid bulkhead, there was a large amount of float foam under the fuel tanks.
I’m doubting this was factory. There was no seeming way for water to drain to any bilge pumps. This soaked foam and water were held up against the wooden bulkheads and caused them to rot.
I’ve removed this foam and am replacing the bulkheads. Positive buoyancy makes sense to me. But not having proper drainage makes no sense. So advise me please
1. Would you suggest installing drain tubes fore to aft and float foam around them
Or
2. leave area open and put pool noodles and a bilge pump or two in there?
Bulkheads will be made out of thermolite (like coosa board).
Ty and hope all had a happy and safe 4th!
