Just thought I'd post a update. After sealing all drain plugs, sealing anchor locker and taking care of fish box all my storange compartments were completely dry after a long Friday night fishing trip in the mostly light rain. First time ever.
 
50 miles today. Lots of rocking and rolling off shore. Rough, lots of spray. No water in storage areas.
 
It wasn't a lot of sealing work. I posted a pic of fish box . The anchor locker drain is just coated in white silicone from the inside till I get a proper thru hull fitting instead of a thru half hull pos. The sealed drain plugs in the console are keeping it dry with maybe help from the sealed anchor locker drain. Waiting to see if I ever get enough water in the middle part of hull to go into engine compartment and kick on bilge pump.
