My wellcraft 21sl is on saltwater moorings. There is always water in the bilge due to the boat design and the way the water runs through the anchor carrier at the bow thru the boat into the bilge. A guy told me the other day to make sure it is dry as you would get condensation in there, but this would be impossible wouldn't it? I suppose I could block up the hole in the anchor compartment to prevent it but then I would need to empty that each time there is a downpour. Any ideas guys?

With Many Boats,+ many different boat Systems,....<br />Water is drained to the Bilge to be Pumped Out.......<br /><br />Condensation will form with Temp changes whether there's any liquid water present or Not.........<br /><br />But,... I Do Agree that Drier Is Better...........
