    08 183 Front storage

    How is water not going to get in the front storage compartment where the seat pedistale goes through?
    Also the drain hose on the TM tray is pointed toward the front of the boat, seems like it won't drain properly this way?

    The pedestal base has a drain which goes to the bilge, not the storage compartments.

    Drain on TM tray...are you talking molded in tray or add on?

    There is no drain on the base, but there is a hole in front of the storage where a hose can go through,
    Factory recess.

    Thanks, it's not there.
    Can I get one from Stratos?

    Exactly! Mine does....


    Definitely contact Stratos and explain what is missing. As for drain on TM pedal pan, ask about that, too. I would think the hose should drain back, not forward...I have never seen mine...how did you figure out which direction it drains?

    I had a similar question, but my hose was there. It just came undone from the pedestal.

    This picture will help...
