In Response To: Don't drill the bulkheads! (Brianne Corbett)

Hi folks,

I'll agree with Mike on this one - check to see if you already have a hole in your bulkhead, A pin-hole will do the job of relieving heated air pressure in these compartments, of course without jeopardizing safety.
I have "wet exited" in heavy surf with a pressure hole in my bulkeads and had more water drip into the bulkhead storage compartent while taking off the hatch cover on the beach.
