Re: Inverter stupid question

FWIW,
I have a F32 and I don't think it was a standard feature. If you have one then it was probably added. I like your thoughts and feel that you are thinking correctly. I am in Galveston Texas. Where are you? Best. Charles

FWIW,
Do you think it might be the fasteners that are leaking. I believe the hull deck joint has 5200 caulk between and should not leak there. Howver the fasteners might be the issue? Best!

Re: FLOORBOARDS f30
