Consider adding a hatch? When you can't win you can survive. Nature knows where the doors need to be. |
Funny you should mention that because I have a 4" solar vent that needs to go somewhere, and that location is as good as any other I suppose.
My neighbor (on a trawler) just repaired a section that was at least 5' by 8'; it was the entire aft deck for the most part. A huge section. The guy is a pack mule and I'm always stunned by what he can get done.
It just weirds me out to imagine putting a 4" hole into an already weakened spot.
