Ted - My #621 was equipped with nada. We have used weather stripping and
re-positioning to good effect. But it all falls apart after one or two
uses. I am considering the "moisture band" option. I think I will also
eventually add dry deck in the cabin. I did make a pin that goes through
the center hole when the board is down. A bungee runs from a ring on the
pin, over the top of the board and back down where it ends in a loop
through which the pin inserts. It does not seem to help with the leaking
as much as being sure the forward edge of the centerboar seats properly. -
