Gary, I would provide a drainage hole at the lowest point of the box. A one
inch diameter hole covered with very fine screen wire. I would glue it in with
silicon-rubber glue. If the box is sealed completely, you will have a buildup
of condensation, been there and had it. I had a prop-pitch motor that was
completely sealed. I always had water in it. It was condensation, I provided a
drain hole at the lowest point and all was well. 73 es GL...Price W0RI

Rather than invent a poorly designed
wheel, maybe someone here has already
successfully worked out a better solution
I don't want to make access holes for
insects but I need to keep it dry inside.
Once the holes are sealed there isn't much
access for water getting in. Murphy being
a McGuiver, should I drill a couple small
holes in the bottom for drainage or should
I leave it as is and not provide for
drainage?
