    Cover vs shrink wrap

    not for nuttin', but in the old days we cobbled together a 2x4 frame and pulled a cheap tarp over the boat to keep leaves and snow out. at some point, it became necessary to hermetically seal up your boat for the off season.

    330 Express Forward Bilge Pump Fuse Location

    vent window repair

    nothing to add other than it is one of the worst engineering i have seen. especially on a boat. those vents should be aluminum frames and actually split in two so you could run with a smaller top piece open. and they used to have 2 of the T holders in the past on each vent. i know GW isn't...

    Need Advice on Main Circuit Breaker Replacement (30A)

    330 Express Forward Bilge Pump Fuse Location

    there's a push button breaker with the battery switches (pretty sure float switch). also the breaker at the top of the switch. does it run if you lift the float? panel breakers fail, so do switches (and switch lights). good luck.
