Abstract
A control board enclosure includes an opening extending through a side wall to permit moisture to drain from the enclosure and a potting compound to protect the control board. A plug is sized to fit in sealable contact with the opening. The potting material is placed within the enclosure to cover the control board and a portion of the plug. A drainage channel is formed and extends to the opening through the potting compound when the plug is removed from the enclosure.
