Certainly you can hit some high pitched notes, but not sure you can play a scale.

John, why is there such a big hole in your deck for that dorade box? I'm used to seeing just a 3" or so round hole with a raised lip. That looks more like a vent than a dorade box.My boat looks nothing like that today. The past week has been a series of partially finished projects.
First up, I arrived just after a rain storm. There was a pint of water on the head deck. I tracked it down to a leaking dorade. Removed the dorade for repair and added a quick patch to keep the rain out.
1/4” piece of plexiglass, some polyurethane caulk, and 2 aluminum strips for hold down.

My thought was it looks like an opening for a hatch. The design has 2 layers of plexiglass on a dorade wood frame. This provides a constant source of air and light into the head. Here is an image of the parts.looks more like a vent
That makes more sense, trying to get light into the head. If you can find a hatch to fit that would be better. Or put a plate over it with a solar vent which will move more air than the dorade.My thought was it looks like an opening for a hatch. The design has 2 layers of plexiglass on a dorade wood frame.

The PO failed to caulk and properly install the dorade to prevent leaks/moisture getting beneath the deck. That will be corrected. One option would be to ignore the dorade and install a decent hatch. I’m not sure of the solution till I get the dorade home and into the shop.

We need details. He was fussing that you had the audacity to boat to work, that you were polluting, that it was an inconvenience to him that others might be boating?As I was leaving work Wednesday, this guy started making a fuss... not sure if he was fussing at me or something else
We have a pair that fish our marina all season long. Most of the bald eagles have moved on.So I have the great fortune of being able to boat to work. As I was leaving work Wednesday, this guy started making a fuss... not sure if he was fussing at me or something else
