Hello all,
This my first post so be kind. This started out to be a simple fix of a fuel guage. It is turning out to be a whole different can of worms. I could not get to the fuel sender wires so I pulled up the deck to make it easier. What I found was broken wires, a water logged piece of glassed over plywood and totaly saturated foam surrounding my fuel tank. Is the normal in a whaler? I thought they used closed cell foam and it did not absorb water? I have learned this is not true with some reading but it sure came as a supprise to me.
So what is the fix for this? Both most common and best options would be nice to hear. I have done a fair amount of glass work in the past so that part will not bother me.

Thanks, David
