[C320-list] Storage of washboard/stormboards on new C32s, engine box fit & yacht charters

[T. Scott Thompson]

If you have a gap on the right and not enough room on the left then it 
sounds like the engine box is not positioned correctly.  I'd check the 
groove in the wood on the left side of the engine box mount to see if 
something is blocking the box from sitting all the way to the right.  
There should not be any gap between the box and the fridge.  If you 
can't figure it out, I'd contact Catalina and ask that this be corrected 
under warranty.
