Cuddy Trim Edge Replacement

[talbot]

Good advice.
For the record, I installed plugs on my cuddy drains, same as on the transom. The mast tabernacle is sealed with rubber marine hatch tape. The through-hull for the CB uphaul is sealed when the boat is underway. So I'm pretty sure the only source of water in cuddy between trips is through the open-cell foam weatherstripping. I'm drying out in Arizona on travel for work right now, but I understand it's pouring back home in Oregon. So I'll have a chance to check it out this week. The boat was dry when I put it away on Friday.

I put corks in the drain holes for the cuddy, at least those scupper flaps hide the corks from the sun.

I used some flexible sealant around the mast to keep water out of the cuddy from that source. I know water can get in thru the gaps between the hatch and opening, also the drain holes. Only seem to have a problem in very heavy rains.
