Before I get out the drill....

for those of you with the weep holes drilled in your engine pods, are you free from condensation buildup inside the engine gauges??

Weep holes are for water runoff, it will<br>not prevent condensation or 'fogging up' of the instruments....<br><br>cuba libre 2<br>------Original Message------<br>From: Irv Grunes<br>To: Catalina 320 List<br>ReplyTo: Catalina 320 List<br>Sent: May 30, 2006 6:52 AM<br>Subject: [C320-list] Engine Pod Weep Hole Vents.<br><br>[Sent by: C320-List-bounces at catalina320.com ]<br>Does anyone know with what hull number the weep holes were added?<br>Or where , what size, and how many?<br>Or where to look for them.<br>We sometimes get moisture in our engine instruments.<br>I thought it was a Pod sealing problem.<br>Irv Grunes<br>Isle of Wight #851<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: C320-List-bounces at catalina320.com<br>[mailto:C320-List-bounces at catalina320.com]On Behalf Of Chris Burti<br>Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 8:24 AM<br>To: C320-List<br>Subject: Re: [C320-list] Voltage
