2000 260 Sundancer Leak

[tom bursh]

I have a leak that results in water mid-cabin around the shower bilge area. Recently had the hull painted and no visible cracks. No visible signs interior. Typically occurs with heavy rains. Window gaskets? Railing connections? ideas?

Start with the windows. That's where my wet cabin floor was coming from.

I have the same issue. I just tightened up the latches on my cabin windows this evening, but I am not convinced that will help. My planned next steps are to clean teh gaskets and potentially wipe them with a silicone based lube. Second step may be to caulk the outside frame of the windows where they meet the hull.

Any other ideas on how to tighten up the windows?

There are little screws on the window dogs. Tighten them evenly and they should seal up much better. Also clean your gasketing too.
