I have a leak in my v birth right by the mirror. I have checked the anchor storage locker to make sure it’s draining and it is. Could water be coming in around the pulpit? I haven’t had a chance to check with a hose yet as I just bought the boat. Any suggestions would be great.
 
Going through the same issue, possible incursion points are, rail stanchions, nav light base or the anchor locker. I emptied my locker of all rope and found some significant stress cracks at the bottom, I bought a spatula (b/c I cant reach bottom of locker) from $ store and some marine grade caulk (pettit) and liberally smeared/filled all cracks. Im still assessing if it worked.
 
I just completed my stanchions on the port side of the boat. I bought fender washers for the underside to add more support. When I cranked up the bolts water came out from the fibreglass. Can’t wait to complete the start board side.

the V birth leak might be due to small cracks I guess. I’m wonder in that flex seal stuff would work for in there?
