Bow splash/spray rails?

[wiperhunter2]

In the extreme conditions like you are referring to, it is unlikely that you will be fishing from the bow anyway and in my experience your bow mount trolling motor is of little use then as well. Scotts suggestion is a good idea, although not cheap. When I got my current boat, I was lucky enough to get an enclosure just like the one in his pic and I can tell you it makes all the difference in the world. As far a water coming into the bow and running inside you boat to the bilge, you can also have a cover made for that area as well, not sure if it will stop all the water from coming into the boat but it will help.
