I have the notches in my 91 but that section of the lid traps the water and doesn't allow it to reach the transom drains. It must just fill up and overflow into the bilge. You have me thinking about notching out the cover in the back to allow better flow.

Wow, Bob. A resource like you is invaluable! Thanks for the explanation. Here's what I don't get: Isn't the drain for the fish box attached to a pump so even if water gets in the box, it would just sit there until pumped out? How would it get into the bilge?Regarding my aluminum tank, it that thing ever rusts out, what's involved in replacing it? Cutting a big hole in the floor?
Got a teak question for you all: I bought a chunk of teak and ripped it down to a quarter inch thick for a new dash panel. What's the best thing to coat it with that doesn't need to be reapplied very often? With all the gauges and switches, that would be a PITA. I'm thinking encapsilating it with epoxy would be pretty permanent. Nice and shiny too.
Verrrry interesting. 8) Awaiting a photo of it in place.
