Just installed my new
Maxwell RC8 and have discovered that by design it has drainage slots which allow
water out underneath to avoid damage to the
motor. Unfortunately, since I have installed my
motor assembly in the vberth this means I get some
water leakage. I am presently on dry land (launching in a few weeks) with the bow slightly raised
on the hard - this means that when it rains the water does not flow forward and out the chain hole. Just wondering how other owners of the RC8
windlass are dealing with water dripping out the designed drainage slots when installed in the living space of your
boat?
