i have a leak during periods of heavy rain that shows on carpet in front of galley fridge.
I have pulled fridge and leak appears to be coming from up under windscreen and running down inside of the hull onto floor behind fridge/freezer. From there it tracks under stairs and into storage compartment in rear cabin.
Has anyone else had this issue....?
 
How high in the boat does the leak originate? If it at the windshield, the only place the water can get in the salon if thru the screws mounting the windshield. Try removing the screw cover along the bottom edge of the windshield frame then remove the mounting screws one at a time. Vacuum each hole dry, then fill the screw hole with silicone and reinsert the screw, then move on to another screw. Either work on opposite sides of t he windshield or do one at a time and go slow so as to not disturb the windshield seal to the deck cap.

Good luck with it……...
 
Thanks as always Frank, I wondered if there was a drain hole that I was missing....?
Ill remove screws as suggested and re seal.
Will let you know.
