    TRYING TO HELP AN OLDER BUDDY FIX LEAKING COMPARTMENTS

    Can anybody help me not to start from scratch??? He is an older guy and has trouble climbing around and into compartments. His lids and compartments really leak. I have heard this complaint from owners before.

    What is the fix please... or is there one??

    Depends on the year as the hatches are different on the newer models. Calking around the under side of the lip helps. I think there is a You tube video showing how to do this and you should be able to do from the top side. My 2021 was done at the factory and the side compartments still get damp but not soaking when washing the deck and the center compartment with the drain hole will have 1" or more standing water at the very aft part right over the drain and not wet at all forward. I ran a wire down the drain and could not feel any obstruction but the water refuses to run out very fast but its appears that its backing up the drain even with the boat elevated.
