[quote pontoonman]Looks like another good setup, TD.
Does your storage area where you have placed batteries stay dry? Is there any model of "V" tube where water doesn't sit in the bottom of the storage area? Maybe your bumpers are keeping water out, or at least reducing the amount of water in the storage area....
I don't much like having a wet storage behind me. Wonder if anyone has rigged a meshed platform, or figured something to keep your snacks dry....

[cool][#0000ff]Those small storage areas are definitely not "dry storage". If you want to keep something dry back there you have to use a dry storage bag or a deep plastic storage container. Quite a few tubers do that...even using small coolers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have my battery inside a high-sided special battery box. Virtually zero chance of the terminals getting soaked...unless I flip my tube.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I usually do not a lot of munchables out with me. But if I do I usually take a sandwich or energy bar in my little chest pack I wear. If that gets wet I got more problems than soggy eats.[/#0000ff]
