Hurricane damge = wet immobiliser

I think the majority of the issue is the location of the immobilizer -- specifically in
the lowest part of the floor board area.

Is there a one way drain plug we could add to the drivers floor board under/near the
immobilizer which would at least protect the unit from sitting in standing water.

yes

those are being fitted mostly onto 996s by an indy here in Shanghai. The Cab guys all have it apparently. Small vacuum valve that plugs onto the car's vac using a T adapter of some sort. Opens only when vacuum pressure goes away (e.g. car turned off). A $125 retrofit item here lol

Mine is garaged, and can't recall when I drove it in the rain last (never?!)

The drain is a good idea as well, if the car is kept clean.

Otherwise small debris like receipts, loose coins, and others could potentially clog the drain.

Another thing to consider is that the sludge and dirt from the road could also clog the drain from the outside.

I really like the drain idea, but we want to prevent this problem with a "bullet-proof" solution.
