looking to either have ski drain quicker or take on less water initially.
Has anybody tried closed cell foam in the cockpit to decrease volume ? I don't see as it would have any effect on ski as it is so light. This would effectively decrease volume in ski hence ski takes on less water and therefore drains quicker, Correct?? Only issue I see is a potential problem with remount as the foam may get in the way. In my mind I envision a nice form fitting cockpit with just enough room for leg and torso movement. Am i nuts? Good idea??
Alternatively can an Anderson bailer be retrofit by a reputable craftsman? Any special questions to ask before handing over the ski? Does it matter the type of layup?
Just looking for a way to keep cockpit drier. Just picked up a gen 1 S18s on the cheap with single drain and it drains slooowly.
