I have a sea chest in my boat. Boat spent the winter on land.
When we put it in the water there was a hiss sound as the air in the sea chest was forced out.
There is a thick piece of what I assume to be Lexan on top of a relatively thick rubber gasket. Numerous bolts from the top down to washers and nuts on the bottom.
The Question: are these nuts/bolts supposed to be really tight or just tight enough to keep the Lexan and rubber gasket snug?
Mine are NOT really tight and I have no problem but just checking.
