Anyone have water come in thru Horn hole on older SANS/SS

[Chexi]

I am trying to figure out a place for my tower speaker amp (which is 21" long). The port side gunnel looks to be the best option I have. However, I note that the horn vent is located there, and that is my surf side. Has anyone had any trouble with water coming in that vent? There appears to be a semi-permeable substance between the actual exterior vent and the interior cabin. I have never noticed anything getting wet in there before, but I thought I would pose the question. I could always make it water tight if I have to, but I have enough work to do already, so anything that I do not have to do at this point is something I would prefer not to do.

That membrane is waterproof when new. West Marine or A&M has it.

Thank you.

I dont surf, but do have my amps there. Never had any water get through and I cut that membrane out because it made a weird sound with my sub under there.

I did the same thing.

Going to have to fill in that membrane. Mine is not waterproof. Got water on the amp from rain the other day. It seemed like just a little, and I removed it and am drying it out in the presence of damp rid presently, so hopefully it will still work once I give it a few days (not a marine amp).

I put a piece of gore tex the wife picked up from the fabric store. Used sealant between hull-fabric-cover. Tested with water hose---water tight now!!
