Replaced my anchor locker drain fitting due to leaks

DON'T PUT A DAMN HOLE IN THE BOAT TO ALLOW WATER ENTRY!

I think they feel the need to keep that drain as the top of the anchor locker is not sealed and would allow water in if you stuff the bow, or from big waves. I don't' understand why they can't seem to properly execute a thru-hull drain fitting though.

Seal the top, like the FSH anchor locker hatch. Problem solved.

If they can't (or won't), then it should be a priority to not half-ass the drain, as you mentioned, yet @Yamaha allows it go on, with band-aid fixes that they learn about, from this forum.

I get what you're saying, but we shouldn't be the R&D department of a multimillion dollar company. They designed it - make it work. They clearly didn't test this, and hoped their theory was sound. No more spoiler alerts, the theory is shite in practice, and has been a years-long problem that should have been resolved by now.
