I was poking around in the ski locker tonight trying to figure out if there is any way to get a bilge pump pickup mounted under the ski locker. So far no luck on the bilge access. But I noticed that the panel separating the locker from the storage closet was just plywood wrapped in fabric/carpet. The bottom edge of this panel was still wet, even though the boat hasn't been in the water for over a week. When I unscrewed the panel, water started running out of one of the screw holes (under the closet floor).
So aside from the question of where the water is coming from... It seems like it would be good to replace that plywood panel with something that won't rot. (I just hope there isn't more plywood below deck.)
Does anyone have any thoughts on replacing the plywood here with a piece of Starboard. I can get a piece of generic HDPE (12" x 48" x 0.5") for around $40.
Here is the plywood panel. The dimensions are roughly 39" x 11".
