Is the hole that the cockpit table pole mounts in on H26 supposed to have a cover to keep water out of hole? Or has someone built something that covers it thanks jimmy

You are correct in assuming it seems similar to a trailer hitch cover... mine is IN FACT a 2” trailer hitch receiver cover. Reese brand in case you want one like mine! Fits just fine and has kept water well enough out of the hole.
if Jimmy is still up for printing a full cover, i'd be interested in buying one. something that actualyl keeps all the water out would make me more comfortable as water has worked behind the gel coat, but not into the fiberglass
Bra trumps hit it on the nail head with a cover I use to put on and no Hunter did not supply any covers originally
Hello Dave! I've read a ton of your expert replies, thanks!
I did this with the trailer hitch plug, 2 pack for $8 on amazon. Great solution BUT it doesn't really keep all the water out at all. I'd have to seal the plastic square trim, but i'd like it to easily come out to use the table when I want, but would love to keep this hole completely dry.
I also have a similar issue with my gas locker lid being waterlogged because the handle relief collects water and during freeze/thaw cycles its cracked the gelcoat and now the whole thing is full of water. I'll be drilling a drain hole through the relief and epoxying, then drilling a hole through the middle of the epoxy once it dries out, so the handle will always drain.
Had it outside in the sun for a few days and in a small room with a de-humidifier over night. These seem to be the only 2 places on my boat that catch water in a way that worries me and is causing damage.
