Just thought I'd solicit interest in whether others have added a fresh water washdown, or, converted the dead space under the center of the 2320 cabin for storage. I just did both. In the seat storage area on the left, I added a Plastimo 13 gallon flexible bladder. I placed the pop-up fill right on the step, the waterproof on/off toggle right behind the seat, and the outlet right behind the door. I placed a 2.8 gpm shurflow pump right on the deck to the left off the seat in the back, well hidden and quiet. It works great! I can still use the majority of the storage are for life saving equipment as it's soft and poses no threat to the bladder. I can easily get to the bladder from this spot for clean ups, sterilization, etc. I have been bugged by that huge dead spot in the middle of the cabin, where the forward bildge pump is. So I finally grapped a 30" hatch after speaking with Parker engineers (great feedback). I cut out the old circular hatch and placed the new hatch in it's place. The only problem is it's white. Below deck, where the sides reach a "v" I spliced in four 12" by 23" by 1/2" pieces of seafoam starboard. All anchored with 5200 and a center strip in the middle to bear the weight. I placed a couple of drain plugs in, ran the cabin drain through it, and re-used the circ. hatch over the forward bildge pump. Gave some thought to glassing in and painting beige, but I think I'll hold on that and return som stuff to the store to get some cash back! I now have ~ 8 to 10 cubic feet of storage there now. It's huge. It could even be used for a large fish box. If people are interested in pics, let me know. Prob. not much to look at, but good for ideas. See ya on the sound! "Fish Factor" | ||||
