If it needs a repair - I'd think a hose would have to be run from end to
end.

Call the manufacturer - relate the problem - and explain that you don't want
Dennis the Menace working on (or touching) your boat any more. Ask them for
an alternative repair facility.

Again thanks for help guys. All are worth investigating.
Now, suppose the channel is damaged how would suggest it be repaired and I
surely wouldn't want the guy that sold me the boat do it. He has damaged
everything they worked on since I bought the boat new last June. What
recourse does someone in this situation has?
