[QUOTE="richg99, post: 448845, member: 4376"] Sounds like you have analyzed your situation correctly. I guess I would just take a small Philips Screwdriver or an awl, and poke straight down to see if I hit the channel, through the foam, on the bottom. If you do hit an opening or even bare metal, then just cut out more foam. I'd line the vertical channel with a piece of aluminum or even plastic. That would keep most of the moisture from contacting the foam. If you hit nothing but foam all of the way down, then take a look from the stern and see if the hull has a formed channel in the right place that could be opened up. The last thing any of us want is a slow drain after a couple of big waves hit the boat. Interesting project. [/QUOTE]
