Thanks. I think I will drill some holes from below and see what the core looks

A fellow sailor and I are having a discussion about AGM batteries, and whether

Technically yes but the process causes off gassing which is why you always
water floaded cells before and after. AGM can't be watered and as such
equalizing will cause them to off gas but you'll have no recourse.

Doug, you're welcome. I should have mentioned that equalizing voltage of 15.7v

John, I’ve done some repairs on my 36-1 in that area and mine is cored with
plywood. You may want to take a core sample using a hole saw to see make sure
the core is intact. I don’t generally trust moisture meters.An added
