Pabel1993 Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Anyone add piping to there rod lockers to let them drain to the back of the boat ? My rod lockers and big front hatch on the deck drain right into the hull with no access to the bilge. Further the rod lockers drain right into the areas where the foam is and imagine at some point this could cause an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call the factory....I seriously doubt the drains are flowing into foam....even so, it's normally a sealed foam that does not absorb water......I have a 2300 has 2019 and find they drain right into the bilge when I'm cleaning the boat, drains super fast. I have not taken out the covers to check, but, I would suspect there is an attachment that centralizes the drain.... DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Yea I’ve check my drains right into the side of the boat where the foam sits i don’t know if someone forgot to plumb them or what from the factory but it gets old not being able to rinse out my rod lockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribute Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 In your other posts you indicate you had the stringers redone and the boat re-foamed, does not sound like a factory issue to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did but at no point from the factory to now has their ever been drains in there. As I thinking about adding some I was just trying to figure out how to plumb them or if theyre even needed that’s all. Wasn’t blaming pathfinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I would be willing to bet if you shine a light in the drains of the rod locker you’ll see fiberglass not piping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
