What strategies have you employed for keeping rainwater out of your dinghy, or dumping it when full? I have mine on a davit now so any solution I come up with will have to work around the lifting points. And, I discovered, the rain pools below the inflatable floor! So I would rather keep the water out in the first place. Not sure if I can use the davit to store the boat upside down. Might be worth experimenting...

TIA.
Warren

Not live in N.W. Washington..... Mr. Green

I know this is not the answer you are looking for Warren, but with all the rain we have had in the past few days I couldn't resist. Wink
