Zep, A customer in Texas had a 400# TH feeder that was even deeper than yours, and FULL of feed.. I happened to be visiting him the day after the flood. We got it out, cleaned all the food out of it, gave the inside a good bath, opened up everything and set it in front of a fan for 2 days. He needed the timer and battery replaced, but that was 9 years ago and it's still working. LMK if you need parts and can't get them locally, I can ship them to you.
