Anyone address the non-guttered access doors (Starboard, not wood) on the port and starboard stern lockers. Every rain my batteries and switch get wet as there is no provision for gutters or gaskets.

Dick,
Are the stern locker doors also rigging tunnels? I have a 1979 22ft Revenge with a starboard locker that is a rigging tunnel as well as a drain passage for my below deck fuel tank chamber.

Garris:
These are the two stern corner lockers into which batteries are located. The horizontal doors access the lockers.
I guess rigging travels through them.

Dick,
It looks like the 25ft Revenge came with both the closed and bailing transom. I guess you have the closed transom (I have the self bailing transom). I do not believe your hatch doors were ever designed to be water tight. I moved my batteries and battery combo switch to the cabin area (wet ride in back). I also installed a 1" brass drain tube from my fish locker to splash well where there was never one before. Our transom configurations are too different for me to help drainage patterns. Good luck.
