What some may not appreciate about a wick is that you need to make sure the wick contacts the water on the deck. The flange of the toe rail is 1/4 or so inch thick. Look closely at this pic:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W_jqkoA760JhFqdWZ4Mt8dUvqtS17VTd I have a few layers of wick stitched together under the top layer that is perpendicular through the toe rail. This lets the wick contact the deck and gather the water to route it to the part that goes through the toe rail and hangs over the side. This wick was a prototype I made several months ago. The design worked well but the materials didn't hold up well exposed to the sun. A piece of sponge with a cut out for the toe rail flange would work well. A piece of line with a knot would work. No matter what wick you use, you'll still have some "green stuff" at the low spot. I don't mind the green stuff. What I don't care for is the streaks down the hull. :( Dennis C.
