Stinky, that fan movin' air thru the bilge has gotta be "The Idea of the Year!!"...as they say on the beer commercial; "BRILLIANT!!"...what a great way to keep her insides dry...

...and super job on the baitwell tear-out...that came out good...ain't Starboard wonderfus!! ;D ;D ...

[msbhammer]

I would have kept the bait well. Would make a great porta-potty. ;D ;D or for those sea sick days ;D ;D

Thanks Rap!!!! Simple but effective. 8)

Hammer, the flange for the drain was broken off so all water and "other" stuff ran into the under console storage. NOT GOOD man!! ::)

Stinky your new set up is great! My Gruman 16' CC had the same set up worked fine. Your right about the water splashing out. Mine had a live well under the helm seat and if you were heading in with fish and it was a little rough the water would come out. Bill Mc ;D

I did the last couple repairs I had as far as starboard goes tonight. I replaced the back transom hatches with 1/2" because the old ones were looking rough!

Here is a before pic......




Here is the hole on one side...same on both:






Here are the two I cut to replace them:




Here is the final product after rounding the corners and routing the edges:







Did I mention I like starboard? *;D

How can you not like it? Now if we could only find a way to make a pair of thongs out of it that wouldn't chafe. :o ::)
