Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Structure of the Splashwell?

On my 1974 Montauk a previous owner has run the electrical wiring through the splashwell. Meaning above the bilge/drain they drilled a hole into the front of the splash well and then another on the other side to run the power from the the main breaker to the stern power block. (why they did this I shall never know)

This always bothered me and this weekend I noticed that the 4200 that was used to seal this hole is failing thus I assume letting some water get in (as the boat filled up during a rain storm this weekend).

Thus I am wondering if anyone knows what is 'under/in' the splashwell. I am hoping it is all lined with fiberglass and there is not any exposed foam in there.

I may just rerun the wires and seal the holes. Not before it dries though. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
