|
|
I know that the 22 cruiser splash well has been modified to increase the transom freeboard to protect from being broached by a big wake or a big wave coming over the transom but my search of the site has been unsuccessful.
Your help to point the way will be appreciated.
Thanks _________________ Bill and Brenda Russell

On Snoopy-C, a piece of plywood was used in conjunction with aluminum channel to raise the freeboard and to provide for a place for pole holders and tools. |

Bill,
I did a similar mod on SeaDNA using aluminum channel and a piece or starboard.

I incorporated the splash board with a hinged shelf. Holds the center downrigger, misc junk, fenders attach to stern side. Rollie on C-Batical did a very neat job trimmed in teak. I borrowed heavily from McNaughty. Have been told it reduces engine noise. Does it make it safer or drier - debatable as water also has to get out once it is in. I do have three bilge pumps on independent circuits. Also have never shipped water except over the roof.

Thanks for all your replies and all are good ideas from how to attach and a variety of uses
Drilling a hole in my beloved "FALCON" is a traumatic thought, the actual event may bring on depression, and may be too much for me to handle
I know from other post that water over the splash well and into the cockpit is really not common
Thanks

We've taken water in the cockpit through the splash well a couple of times drift fishing for halibut. Once by a steep wake and once in confused seas. Didn't get much more than five gallons or so per incident but it generated some thoughts on how to mitigate.
Utilizing this area for storage and raising the lip in the meantime (Not For Hire and McNaughty) is a great idea. Mounting a cooler in this area can result in similar benefits if it's secured.
I came across photos in someones album a couple of years ago showing a welded aluminum unit that turned out very nice. I printed copies of the photo's but have misplaced them. Does anyone know where these photo's are posted? I recall the member lived along the lower Columbia river and his album contained pictures of salmon caught in the Columbia.

Tom & Susan
After looking at your fish box/ storage compartment/ cockpit seat at one of the CBGT last summer, I said to myself. Self, you can make one of those. So I priced out the materials, & took detailed mesurements. The problem I ran into is the motor control cables. They come straght out towards the cockpit. If I glassed in a Storage box like yours, the cables would bind with the motor tilted up. How did you resolve this problem? We have a Honda 90 like yours. Did you re-route the cables ?
Pictures would help. _________________ Terry, Ann & Chloe

I too hate drilling but wanted to make use of the wasted space in the well.
My little project consists of a tabletop of 1/2" Seaboard angle-cut(mitered) on the ends to match the well sides. It slides in between teak strips(cleats) secured above and below with 5200. A short lip is attached fore and aft to keep stuff from sliding off. These ends are also mitered to match the well sides and table ends. 1/2" aluminum channel is 5200'd to top of well lip and underside of table. Into this slides another panel with the triple rodholder attached.
With the rodholder panel in place the table becomes rock solid. In fact, it's strong enough to accept my dinghy's motor and mount.
Now I have a place to toss jigs or swivels or cut bait or...
Best of all, I didn't have to drill one hole for this project. I could remove it today and not leave a trace.

I wasn't worried about this but a full width panel could easily replace the small rodholder panel I use. _________________ Pete

There are two reasons we have not put a splash well height increase is that we don't see a major risk of taking water over the stern, and we like to be able to get into the splash well for getting ashore (stern too) and occasionally for fishing, and dinghy boarding etc. _________________ Bob Austin

I did not have to reroute the cables, it all fits. I will try to get photos of the whole thing. The nice thing about it is that it makes a great step to get in and out of the boat. much better then the stock sloped surface. makes getting to the swim step and stepping on the lazarette easier. It is the best thing I have done to the boat. |

I've been thinking a long time on this project, too. I'd like a unit that incorporates a fishbox for when we go down to the Gulf. I'd also like it to be easy to install and remove...sort of a "convertable" design. We don't need it when we are on the lake in the summer.
I'm thinking a fiberglass "liner" for Tom's part of the design would work nicely for what I have envisioned. Lots of different mounting styles, too, guys. All good ideas and designs here...keep 'em coming!

I've got the factory cooler rack in my boat but only use it when fishing for the reasons Bob mentioned, it makes it really hard (for me) to get to the swim step. If I were to install anything like this I'd make sure it was easily removeable if you often use your swim step. _________________ marvin |

I too have thought about this. Never really thought I might need it until we did our trip to PLI last summer, but then I was wishing I already had it done. Do have to admit, never got pooped, but took a few days for my head to get screwed around so I could look straight ahead regular like again.
