Front anchor locker?
Has anyone had the problem of water settling in there? Has anyone drilled some kind o drain, maybe into the big fish box in the front.Any ideas as I'm about to drill some holes. Thanks RS.

Re: Front anchor locker?
My boat is newer than most here so I don't know if what I did would be a good idea on the older boats with wood in them. I drilled holes though the bulk head and let it drain into the hull. After my hull warranty runs out I plan to put a hatch on the rope well and finish out those holes.
BTW-I ask Bass Pro Shop about drilling the holes and they told me it was ok.

That was My plan, but after sealing from the outside(Thru Hull) i noticed FOAM inbetween the deck/ inner liner & hull so I didn't want this to get water logged.I reopened My thru hull & went Bronze.Who knows maybe I'll need the Xtra room for Beer & /or Fish !! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Front anchor locker?
Most all that I have seen at least on the 23'er's have had a door on theirs. Mine does not nor apparently has ever had one. I have the water problem but do not want a thru hull up there. I'm trying to figure out first where the water comes from. maybe just horizontal or almost horizontal rain?? Cleats?? Not enough room in there anyway I dont think for much of an anchor and line so Im thinking of making just a cover of the same material as my t-top/etc and covering the hole???Any other thoughts???

Re: Front anchor locker?
On my 23 there was a hole that was drilled in that front rope locker that lets the water run down into the bottom of the hull I thought that was a good idea so I kept it that way. I have a hatch door to get into that area but I only use that area for short ropes. The deck hatch just in front of the center consol holds my anchor 10’ of chain 400’ or rope plus the ball retrieval system and a cast net.
