Just bought a 2021 Aquila 32 Sport. The prior owner had to replace the SureShade motors twice because of water damage ($1700 each time) The boat was under warranty, so not sure why he paid, but the MarineMax guy came out and ended up drilling 2 holes on the lower sides of the top, starboard even with the Fusion radio shelf and port, even with the front of the "co-pilot" seat. Every time it rains now, the holes pour water. This was a factory fix.
Turns out the drain for the SureShade is the rear stainless top support rails, but the problem was that the rear of the top was higher than the front, so water sat in the motor channel ruining the motors. They should have put the drain in the front stainless stop support.
I'm looking at temporarily putting in clear plastic tubing in the 2 holes and letting it drain between the snaps in the Isinglass and down the side windows. This is silly, but I don't have a solution yet and being an Aquila owner for less than a week, I don't have much knowledge about where the water could be getting in the SureShade channels.
Help anyone?
