Well THAT ain't gonna happen! Maybe it's natural gas, fed from the local utility. When did it last leave the dock?

Just kidding.

Welcome aboard, Capttman! Tell us more about yourself and your new A40. We love pics and can't wait to see it.

Look under the upper helm opposite side of the wheel. I call that area "the cave".

There is an overboard drain path.
A boat would not be designed that way today.
