I see your point, but the original drawings for the boat have both input and output in the anchor well. And it would be a simple matter to always cover up the freshwater fill with a plastic bag before starting the process, and wipe the area down afterward as well.

I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten on this thread. What I really need to do before anything else is get the existing bladder pumped out as soon as the weather permits. I really didn't start thinking about this until late last season when I pumped some water into the head and flushed it out to make sure everything still worked OK. After that it started cooking a bit, and that's when I noticed that some work needed to be done.
