The small aluminum gutter that goes around the perimeter of the engine compartment opening in the deck to catch water that makes its way in around the outer edges of the boat hatches.

Removed the cockpit stringers, braces, and the plastic drain pipes under the tank tonight. This boats been in the shop under a roof for three years and still has some wet wood in the stringers.

Got the port grid out of the engine compartment. Thanks Mike for the heads up on popping the grid out rather than grinding. Actually comes out pretty easy when you get under it.

We got the rest of the grid out this morning. Just gotta trim where the stringers were, remove the liquid nails(?) that held the 2X2’s in place and we’ll be ready to start glassing new stringers and bulkheads in.

Also, no rot to speak of in the engine compartment. The 2X2’s were wet but not rotten and here’s the pad the bulge pump screws to. Lowest part of the boat. Not rotten, go figure.
