PSA - Check\Replace gaskets behind Marinco shore power bezels

Post by PDQfan »

If you wait too long the Marinco gaskets will leak and water will drip down the electrical chase and into the starboard cabin and rot your headliner panels. Not replacing these before they leak will create a much bigger job. Though only one panel of mine was badly rotted I chose to replace all 3 as one other had a small tear. And, of course I wanted the panel upholstery to match. All in it cost about $300 DIY in materials from Sailrite (foam headliner, 3m spray adhesive) and Lowes (5mm plywood, 6mm staples) along with about 8 hrs labor. Fairly easy for a first timer and I can't imagine an upholstery shop could do much better.

The new bezels were about $30 each.
