Slide out galley

[Chuck]

Hi folks,Please forgive any ignorance I display, but I'm a new owner (12418), still in the "getting to know you" phase with this boat. Beneath the slide out galley there is a groove molded into the starboard berth, which seems like the obvious place for a track on the bottom of the galley to slide, yet there is no track on the bottom of my galley. Should there be? If not, what, if anything, keeps the galley from sliding athwartships when the boat is heeled?Thanks,Chuck

slide

hello chuck, yes there is supposed to be a track. it is a strip of wood shaped roughly to match the groove moulded in the fiberglass. it is attched to the underside of the galley with four short screws ( short so you don't put a hole in the water tank )it is about 3/4ths the lenght of the galley.when you pull the galley out check all the connections for leaks fill the water tank, pump the pump, fill the sink ,look at all the connections.john
