    When you replaced the fuel / water separator filter, this allowed air to be induced into the fuel system for the generator. (I know this from previous experience) Read in your owners manual, or can be viewed online on how to bleed the fuel system. It is a fairly simple procedure. This will solve...

    2005 Amberjack 270

    I own a 2006 Amberjack 270, and had the same problem. The "Head" window turned out to be the source of the water intrusion. Tighten the adjustment screws for the window gasket, and that should solve your problem. Please respond back if that solved your water leak. Bill
