Thank Phil for the information and links, I actually had the same questions. My 2003 Dauntless 160 has a couple chips I'd like to fix and I also wondered the best way to keep water out of the anchor locker. I ordered some Spectrum White and will pick up a drain plug at West Marine.

Regarding scuppers, as you know, the Dauntless has two that drain the boat at the stern, being a 14 year old boat, those rubber flaps were slightly bent outward allowing water to trickle into the boat when it wasn't moving and we have a couple people sitting in the back seats. I got to thinking that reversing the rubber flaps so they bent inward and sealed the opening my cure that issue. I took the four screws out from each scupper, cleaned the rubber flaps, reversed them and put the scupper back together. It worked like a charm. No more wet feet in the back of the boat. The wife was very pleased and wondered where I got the idea. I told her I thought it up all by my self. She didn't believe me but that's ok, I know the truth.

Thanks again for the info. I really enjoy your insights!
