23cc Rear Baitwell

[DonV]

No Sir, I sure don't. When I re-did my transom I installed a shelf against the forward wall of the baitwell to mount my 2-stroke oil tank on (Mercury), moved it from the center console. I then cut a 4" access hole with a watertight cover above the filler and sealed the old hinged cover so it would not leak into the old baitwell. Used closed foam strips and screwed the cover down. To make sure I had no standing water in the old baitwell I drilled a drain hole in the bottom so if I did get a small amount of water, like from splashing over the transom it would drain into the bilge. The old baitwell the 23'er is not the best design, however I am using the space for something else. If I had had the extra money a full transom and Hermco bracket would be there and the old baitwell would not be an issue.
