We were at the sandbar and got caught in heavy rain for about an hour. Midway through the rain a bunch of alarms start going off so I shut the batteries off. When leaving the alarms went off the whole way home. The next morning no more alarms. I search around all the electronic connections I could find looking for water intrusion. To my surprise behind the dash..I found the cup holder drains disconnected allowing water to drip all over various plugs. Not sure how these are supposed to stay connected I do not believe that a simple zip tie like they came would keep them connected. Has anyone ever had this happen and if so how did you reconnect? Thinking some sort of marine adhesive would be best.

Decided hose clamps were the best solution and way better than the zip ties that the boat came with.
