Re: storage place

the drainage holes are open. The locker has no underplate. You can reove it easily

I like the locker, but how do you get at the drainage hole corks?
I always used old sherry corks for bungs and, like you Victoria, I always inserted them from inside the cockpit. I never had problems with the pressure of water forcing them out, but I do see that many would assume that it would be wiser to insert them from the outside so the water pressure keeps them in place.

Re: storage place

You could always take a lesson from the old gp14 and put some plastic flaps on the outside that flap out (or you can do it with a couple of plastic disks on the outside, held in place with a light piece of bungy).

That way, if there is any significant amount of water in the boat it will push its way out, but not back in.
