I just got my 2019 AR195 out of winter storage. Inside the engine compartment, there was this odd yellow gunk that appears to come from the yellow/orange plastic wrapping around the fuel fill line. It is localized where the fuel fill line enters the engine compartment on the port side. See pics below.

The yellow/orange gunk has the consistency of old honey. It's not completely dry, and can be wiped up with a towel. There is more of it between the plastic wrapping and the fuel fill line.

When I put the boat away for the winter, I topped off the gas tank best as I could. There is no gasoline smell or anything, so I don't think there's a gas leak. I just don't know what the gunk is. Anybody else experience this before?
