Hi,
Winterized the boat and had it shrink wrapped. I dried out the bilge and fish box, and overnight after a dry night found a little water in the bilge. There was a water drip running along the inside of the boat where the bottom meets the transom, from the starboard side to the bottom. Stern seat locker and battery area dry, but there was water in the rigging tube. All other compartments and open hatches are dry.
After a few unsuccessful minutes a turkey baster and then a rag was the easiest way to dry it out from the top.
Does the rigging tube have a drain or do you need to occasionally dry it out? If it does have a limber hole I'm stumped on how to find it and clean it out.
It's full of rigging from the top, and hard to reach from the bottom.
Turkey baster was easy to use to dry it out once I figured that out. Any thoughts?
