Any tips on detaching my dog from the bay?

I hadn't thought of that. Irma may find it, then it's history.

Interesting idea…. So you cut a hole in the ball? Or just cut it in half?

1 1/8" hole saw on opposing ends then make a slice between the two. Here's my prototype

Ahhh…Got it. I like that idea…probably will work better than their gasket anyway…

I'll probably make a couple more for spares before the next trip. Since my rat incident, I've been trying to seal up a much as possible.

Did ever figure out where he got in?

Pretty sure it was up the cord. There wasn't much restriction with that flimsy seal.

Got it. Looking at your cross view, the bubble is what is torn off mine. Be back in few days thx.

Richpatty, ended up pulling off all old, new one is lighter duty and wouldn’t fit well over spine of old. Letting this bend in place and we’ll put good silicone under and goop up around edges. See if it holds. Pretty clean til it wears our gain.
