Sam and WOG, I could go that route, but here is my thinking. If I go with the bed liner coating, it offers a rubbery coating the will help seal the compartments even more and keep the items in those storage areas a little more protected from bouncing and moving around. So that seems like a good idea. However, I was wondering about how to allow drainage in those boxes in the event water did get in. The rod boxes are sitting about half way up the side of the hull. And while I am trying to seal those compartments from any type water getting inside, if water does get in, how do I drain them? :noidea:
I even thought about installing some simple drain fittings and run the tubing to the back at the bilge area. But I am now rethinking that idea. I am now thinking that IF water gets in, and I honestly don't know how that could happen, I use a sponge and soak it out and dry it. What do you all think. I am open to any idea. The front storage area is no big deal. It will drain via the center area that has a drain installed already. But the rod boxes and two other dry type storage areas are still an iffy subject for me. :noidea:
