I guess I should start installing a CO2 flooding system in the electrical distribution compartment on my kayak

Do you have room ? Come on now, An explosion on a kayak? An explosion does not happen when saltwater comes in contact with a 7amp power source leads, hooked up to a bait tank. This kayak had alot more going on than we know about.lol
