From the gallery, Cdn model on the left:

Both use rivets to hold the conduit or male electrical plug in place. It was pretty easy to swap them over. |

this weekend I took the time to install and leak test my gowesty hook up boxes. here's what i've found:
-foam gaskets don't seal very well, There was noticeable dripping from the gasket. I used butyl tape instead and the seal is perfect.
-the hook up boxes leak! especially the shore power box. I ended up taking them apart and sealing all the parts together with silicone (the shore power box is 3 pcs assembled with SS screws)
I tested all the boxes with my garden hose and they are all water tight now. |
