mid-ship storage box

i used the flared drain hole sleeves attached to hose for the floor drains. the same brass sleeves that are commonly used for the drain hole in the transom.

Hey Tucker, you will still have a "green house" effect with the slats. (Moisture building on the bottom of the hatch). And yes, I am talking about the brass tubes usually used in the transom. The flare can be recessed easily.
The key question is still how much space is there between the front of the box and the hull? Anyone know?

From the schematic on the site it appears to be the same distance from the keel front to back of the box. Now the question is; Do you believe the drawing?

I've never looked, but can you use a mirror to look under the batteries from the engine compartment? Leave the lid open to let light in through the drain hole.

I'm going to shoot you a PM.

Thanks for the idea. I used my camera to shoot a photo forward. Even at the rear the box sits right on the keel. PS - don't trust the drawing! I guess that is why the rear drain is offset to one side.
With that in mind I don't think I'm drilling unless I hear from someone who has taken the inner liner out and knows what is up there.

sent you a pm on your T-top question.
