340 Water Leak

[gmoney]

I can't find where the water is leaking in the cabin. Water pools up on the galley counter, the area below the AC main distribution panel. I have verified that the water is not entering through the port or deck window. Any ideas?

Any ideas or previous experience out there?

The window could still be leaking and the water traveling behind the foam backed vinyl.

Thanks everyone! I will reseal the port windows and wiper post.

Do you have cock pit cover? Are the snaps caulked? If the snap aren't caulked the leak water like a sieve...

I finally found the cause of the water leak. The rain water was leaking through the bolt holes that connect the bow rail to the boat.

How did you fix the bolt holes where the water was coming in? I think I have the same problem but I'm afraid to loosen the bolts if you can even get at them. Capt'n Ron

I was able to get to the backside of the holes by removing the microwave. I resealed with silicone

Did you reseal from the top side as well?

 

[gmoney]

yes, I also resealed from the topside.

If you look at an old thread of mine, its a pain, but needs to be done. I found at least 2 holes that the water was getting into the core from the bow rail. At those spots you need to remove all the wet material and fill with resin or epoxy and redrill. See my thread link below:
