rain in boat

[jake's02-22i]

Just wondering if anything bad will happen to the boat if it has been sitting in the pouring rain without a cover for a day. It is a 2002 22iR there was nothing i could do about it. i know it is a boat and it goes in the water but just wondering.

No but I would drain the water out of it and air it out.

Or get some bubble bath and use it as a tub for a day or two and then drain out the water It will be clean inside and out and no harsh detergents.
j/k

That's a good plan. Look at it this way, you'll get all kinds of dirt you wouldn't normally get out by doing that. I would make sure you open everything up once the sun comes out and let it air out until it's dry. I'd look into some de-humidifiers if you don't have time to let it dry out completely.

I am hoping it's ON the water and not IN the water. he he he

A 100 watt light buld and a small fan will help make sure it drys out nice, if you put in under cover or in the garage. I'm sure the sun works wonders down where you at tho. Tricks of the trade, up here in Vancouver where it rains 9 months of the year and every five minutes in between. I also found those little dehumidifier containers that you can by at Costco seem to work ok too.

Say it ain't so.....a boat....get wet......oh nos!

[jleger98]

make sure you get all the little cubby's and under the seats dried out too. Mold can be a PIA once it gets started.

We had a flood here and even with a cover, my starter got fried which crippled my boat for the weekend
