Strick,

If you have a way of adequately venting out the moisture as well as sealing off the vents, I imagine there are plenty of members that would like to hear about it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] The appearance would certainly benefit from those things being glassed over.

Maybe adding some intake vents to the center consel that plum down to the bilge and having the vents in the stern cap like in the pic I showed may work. I'll have to figure out a way thats for sure as it's too late to turn back now. Thanks for the replies on this topic. Is The OtherTom out there? .... He is full of boating knowledge and I'd like to hear how he vented his bilge on his White Water CC.

On my 23 CC outboard I cut a vent under the center consol just above the fuel and air lines 90 degree hose bracket that go into the tank. Because it is under the center consol no water gets into the area and the vent allows ample fresh air entering into it. There is access to let the air out bother through hatches in the deck bilge area and under the two storage compartments at the transom. I also have the big door that opens from the front of the center consol and another smaller door at the back of the center consol as well. All in all for a outboard that’s plenty. As for the moisture issue if you have used epoxy to laminate all your wood you shouldn’t have a moisture problem and if you didn’t laminate your wood you will have a moisture problem no matter how many vents you have. If I had a inboard gas or a i/o I would use a blower after I had the engine compartment opened and checked for a good long time.
