What is everyone doing for water drainage off the rear hatch?
the dual hatches on the hornet always let water in , even driectly over the motor and carb. I did use some weather stripping but it gave way I found some slim garage door sealer that I am using now for the center seam. The perimeter seam I am thinking of running a clear pvc tube around then drill /cut holes in the top so it is like an orangeburg pipe. Both ends of the tube will fit thru an unused fitting in the transom.
looks like a 7/16 OD 5/16 ID tube would fit siliconed into the base of the hatch lip should make the hatch less noisy too
any thoughts or other ideas
Thanks
