2017 Tomcat fishboxes fill up with water, any suggestions?

[tackers1]

Both fishboxes fill up if it rains or if i wash down the boat. I tried putting in D foam tape in the channels but didn't work well.

I talked to Northwest Marine and the suggested the foam tape. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'd like to be able to keep them for dry storage when I want.

Thanks!

I tried all types of seals, and never kept it dry. Keep a slant back cover of the back of the boat when not using, and full Biminni enclosure, unless fishing....Fishing--you are going to get water in them...I believe that some of the new boats now have a groove which leads to the scuppers from the surrounding groove.

Are you Cruising or are you FsherPersons?

If Crusiers, just disconnect the plumbing to the macerator pumps AT THE PUMP and lay them in the bilge.

If Fisherpersons, I defer to them to post a solution.

Enjoy your great boat in any event!
