 GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage Any GTB owners having issues with the front storage leaking through the hatch and water coming under the bulkhead???? If so was it fixed by GT?

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage Most of these types of boats are constructed similarly, and you won't ever have complete dry storage up front. Mine will also get water up there

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage I have the same problem. Any little bit of debris will clog the drain hole up. If i keep the debris out it will stay dry unless its out in a hard rain.

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage It'll get wet...I would take my life jackets out anytime the boat got wet and hang them to dry before the next trip out to keep them from getting that stank..

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage My drain tube is alays plugging up. So I now open my bow storage and put a box fan over it to circulate air and dry things out.

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage I've got a bilge fan under my extended deck that sucks air out of the front storage. A couple small holes drilled on the other side low and high for an inlet to circulate fresh air through the box. I only run it when the humidity is less than what's in the storage area.

Re: GT 1754 extreme front storage not so dry storage Good idea Russ. Not sure if they make a 12v humidistat, but that would be nice to have.
