24 Puma STS draining question

[nojretlas]

Up at Champlain this week in some rough water, took a couple over the bow that filled the recess. Water went down but much of it went in the starboard locker. Any ideas? Not sure if there is a hose from the drain hole. Ill have to look later tonight.
Im a bit disappointed as my dry clothes were in there.

Check the rivets on the hinges. One of my cats leaked there. I put a little silicone over them and it never happened again.

There was a ton of water in there, I dont think it was a drip.

maybe the seals settled some. can the latch be adjusted a little tighter?

I havent crawled around in an STS but I had water getting into my locker on my Cougar and couldnt figure out for the life of me why. Turns out my bow graph mount wasnt sealed between the backing plate and base of the graph mount and when water would come over the bow, it would drain under the mount base and into the opening of the locker because its not closed off. Im not sure if the STS lockers are closed off to that area, but could be worth a look.

On the bottom right of that recess area. There is a drain with a hose on the back side. Your hose fell off the back side of that drain.

Also look under the TM pedal and make sure the cover is over the access hole. It's about 4-5" diameter

sounds like that hose is off somewhere. I have been on Ontario taking waves over for hours and never got water in any compartment. There has to be a logical reason

Wonder if it came in where the graph wires come out.
That front recess was full like a mini pool over and over.

Going to try that before my St. Lawrence trip.
