I'm not really sure why I called them gray, they aren't as bright of a white as the rest of the boat I guess. It looks like to me like the base of the panel doesn't sit down tight (small gap) so the lip of the panel has to hold all the weight. I plan to stop by the dealer on Thursday, but as long as the panel is designed the same, I forsee the same thing happening. I have been thinking about adding some sort of plastic "shim" under it, so the lip doesn't have to bend as far when my chubby self steps on it. Of course I'll have to seal on both sides of it.
Doesn't yours (beradon) have holes through from the voids to the bilge area?
