    Welcome to the forum stu!

    It might help the members if you would post what year and model Hurricane you have.  Since you have an oil tank, I assume you have an outboard model.

    Right, first timer.  It's an "03 Hurricane by Godfrey 202 Fundeck GS" with a Yamaha 200 outboard.

    Does the compartment still have the insert under the lid? Mine does not and water in that compartment is an issue but not a big one. There is/was some thin hatch seal tape applied under the compartment lid that has since gone south and will be replaced this off-season...along with a whole raft of other small and annoying things! I believe West Marine sells a replacement insert but may be of a different size, otherwise check with a dealer and see if one can be ordered.
