Jim, you can't stop water from getting in the mast thru the exit boxes. All you can do is pump it out later. This is one of the many reasons I store with the mast down.

See other posts on this subject, but I don't know of anyone who can beat this problem. Even if you taped up all the holes, you would get condensation inside the mast and it would end up in the bilge. Can you leave power on with an automatic pump?

Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping water from getting into the mast? This is the first year Cadence has been stored with her mast up (thought I'd save a couple hours). The the boat is typically very dry and she has a full cover --- but I am picking up a bit of water in the bilge (1/4 inch in 3 wks). In the water I thought this was simply the packing gland drip but now the only thing I can think of is rain enterring at the halyard blocks/exit holes. Anyone have ideas/suggestions --- I like a dry bilge, especially in winter.

Are there any special winterizing tips (out of the ordinary) someone can offer to a new 9.1 owner?
