Title: Cockpit locker condensation problem
Post by: Norm on November 19, 2011, 12:55:43 PM
Checking on my CP 23 this morning I discovered lots of water (condensation) in the cockpit locker.  The little sump was full and I pumped it out.  This has happened before.  The cabin was dry.  Anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you remedy the problem.  I just ordered two 4" square vents hoping that will solve the problem.

   I'm not sure what you mean by the cockpit locker. I guess the lockers in the cockpit, right? which drain right to the bilge. I have an electric bilge pump so no large quantities of water ever get a chance to hang out very long. Are you sure it's condensation? Any photos?

Yes, it is condensation.  It is fresh water.  I had the same problem in the cabin where raw fiberglass is exposed: above the sink and stove slide outs.  But I put a louvered vent in the top hatchboard and everything is ok now.  It is the area under the cockpit soul.  I noticed when I opened the cockpit locker that water was beaded up on both covers.
