Thanks for the reply. Still a little confused. Dumps down in the bilge through the stringer? I guess your talking about water getting there from dipping the nose? I was thinking the water that drips off you or off the driver. I did some stinger repair and plugged the hole and made a new box for the pan and some floor repair. I was thinking about not using the pan since it is pretty damaged was to maybe use the front of the pan because I think that hump keeps the gear up in the nose? Thinking about running the carpet down the sides and putting a pc of teak in the bottom. Please let me know of any suggestion you may have or even where to find a new pan. Definitely a newbie here.
