On my 3rd weekend with my new to me 40 Express. First off, love the boat and the ride.
Some things I have questions on:
The indirect doce lighting which are fluorescent bulbs with ballasts are making a period clicking noise. They work but the clicking is annoying? Anyone encountered this and suggest a fix?
Why are there 2 freshwater pumps? No accumulator?
Onan Genset DC breaker keeps tripping. Works most times but also trips at others.
Foredeck areas collects water. Puddles up around anchor windlass deck clear etc. Zero slope so the water just sits. Was thinking of having a glass guy install a weeping hole into anchor locker so there is at least a path for the water to go other than through the hardware mounting holes. Deck is solid but had elevated moisture levels. Seems like a flawed design in my opinion.
