Electronics Box

Once again I am trying to solve a problem compliments of Seahunt


So as you can see in the photos my electronics Box is not flush with my T top canvas.. the problem I have is when I run in rain or fog or rough water even with full curtains the water rushes into the gaps floods the top of Box that than pours down onto the Console and electronics

and these touch screens don't pay nice when soaking wet .

looking for suggestions on minimizing this water intrusion

I am thinking about jamming a pool noodle in the gap

the front gap isn't large the side gap is almost 2 inches

I pulled back the top to expose the top of the box and gooped up all the holes and loosened any through bolt added fender washers and gooped top and bottom of them…
As for rain on your head, sorry can’t help…. ;-)

Thankfully it’s not leaking into the Box. Yet
