I just got back. Washing an ONAN how? I think the big problem in washing the
ONAN would be getting the Printed cirt board wet. Maybe it should be protected
somehow with a plastic bag. I know the corrossion is not good for the boards.
some of the circuitry is pretty close and corrossion might just get together and
short something out. Maybe sealing the entire board in a clear poly coating might
be ok? Any thoughts on this idea? Chuck in Lompoc.
