Water inside the cabin. 320 Sundancer '04 -found the leak!
Hi All.
Just noticed water leaks into the cabin after heavy rains. Accumulations big enough to make the carpet "squishhh" when pressing it. Location is front of the bed STBD side at the base of the stair in front of the V-Berth hanging locker. Can feel humidity in the hanging locker as well.
Any idea where the water is coming in from ? Could it be a seal on one of the skylight or the deck hatch ? Where could the leak be to only wetten the STBD side ? Could it come in from the anchor storage locker ?
Marine survey found higher than normal humidity level aroud Port side wiper base... could it be the cause ? I can't see how since wrong side of boat and opposite end....
Any suggestions appreciated....
After many tests, finally found the leak... it was going in through the rub rail as suggested in one of the posts... Put some duck tape on it before recaulking everything to make sure and came out dry after a few rainy days...
Thanks all.
