Bone dry

Just tucking BP up for the winter. I removed the Bailey hatch by the stern to check the sounder transducers & she's bone dry under the deck. You can see some sawdust that's still in there from the fit out, all powder dry[emoji106]

That rigging tube design is interesting.

Is it PVC plumbing fittings with Sikaflex to seal/glue?
