KEEPING STUFF DRY??

[FELLOW-SHIP]

Ok it has happened again, & I am going to beat this thing.

Question: How do you keep things dry in this hatch???



This weekend I pulled out my artificial lures that I keep in this hatch inside a rubber coated dry bag and wouldn’t you know it some how water still got into the dry bag and now I got 20 something lures that I had to wash off, dry off ,change most of the hooks on before I again put them back in that same environment that caused them to get wet in the first place. This happens to me with something in there at least once a year and really gets my goat. Now I am considering putting them in a dry plastic box and then back into the hatch.
If the water wouldn’t collect in the hatch but drained out that would solve the problem.
Has anyone drilled out a 1” hole in that little recessed water collection part on the right of this hatch to allowed water to drain into the bilge instead of collecting in the hatch area? As we all know the channels for water around that hatch helps some but don’t really keep water from getting in there. So we need either a drain to get it out or some better way to prevent water from getting in there.

Any suggestions??????
