The Magnum storage compartments other than the rod locker and battery compartments are now molded fiberglass, sealed and glassed to the bottom of the deck, and have a gasketed, sealed lid, as do all of the lockers. Only way to get water in those is to flood the interior of the boat, tear a gasket, or otherwise compromise the seals.
99% of the time when I deal with a wet storage locker in that boat, I find a loose lock seal on the latch bottom or maladjusted locking mechanism. You'd be amazed at how much rain can leak through a loose Perko style latch.
Several of mine were just loose enough for that to happen. |
