How To Find & Fix Leaks In Your Sailboat, Clean the Head, & Run A/C Unit On An Inverter

The interesting thing about leaks on boats is that they are never located where you think they should be, so sometimes you have to play detective to find it. Interestingly enough sometimes the things that have no practical purpose on your boat such as the eyebrow on the cabin top side or a teak toe rail are things that boat owners do not take care off and are the source of a lot of leaks on boats. This is what we found on Reverie. As you know we are rebuilding our galley but with all the rain we had we found some leaks on the back corner of the galley. Now that is where they presented themselves, that was not the source of the leak. So here we go playing detective, using spy cameras to slide down tight spots to ultimately find our culprit. Now like every project on a boat, somethings you do things and have to wait for things to dry or cure before you can move forward, so we use that time to our advantage to finish cleaning our hear and finish the installation of our Inverter. The inverter was a big deal as we tested it by running our 12K BTU Dometic Air Conditioner on the renogy inverter and estimated how long we could run it.
