Being at a mooring, like I am, you are never going to keep all of the water out of the boat. One question...in which direction does the pipe have the opening facing? If it is facing forward, there is the problem. It should be facing the stern. Being at a mooring, you are always facing the wind (and rain) so having it face rearward will help...BUT, it will not stop it altogether.

As you can see, my hawse/deck pipe opening faces rearward. No matter what I do, I get water in my cuddy cabin. Anything I want to keep relatively dry I put up on the shelves.

Hi Rwilson,
The cable is used to keep the hawse pipe cap from going overboard. I lost the original cap when the ball chain broke and the cap went in the drink. I made the new cap retainer from stainless steel cable, ss thimbles, ss ring and copper swages. I hope this arrangement is much stronger than the original ball chain! I was lucky in that the original hawse pipe was a standard one and I was able to get a new cap from Starboard Supply for about $30. I got the ss cable etc. from Bosun's Supplies.
