I have a 1989 340 express cruiser, leaks have developed on the port side closet and the two windows in the bow, also the two bow windows on the starboard and the cabinet in the galley close to the head
Any ideas were I should start my search?
Thanks
 
do you have salt water or fresh water leak? depending on... you can start clean and check, please make sure the leak is not coming from any hose. it could be the window selling as you check ( ...it has been a common problem for boats). but also make sure your rub-reel the withe rubber around your boat is not damage. also check those spots after wash the boat and after rain and keep monitoring.
good luck
 
try window leaks ,leaking windows ,I just removed and replaced my bow windows but they are non opening and cheaper than opening ones i got them on e bay.i removes and resealed the glass in my hatches and removed and resealed the frames to the deck.I also just this past weekend finished rebuilding the side sliders and reinstalled them to the boat.taylor made products sells the rubber that has the short fuzz on it ,its not cheap and they charge 25.00 to cut a piece for you and shipping but thats better than a marina would charge.the gooy gummy stuf that seals the forward window to the frame can be purchased from a rv dealer. also i will try to forward pics of a relief hole that i was shown by a csr member. good luck
 
Mine was leaking in the port side locker, but have yet to have the window leaks yet. Here's what it looked like at the top of the inside.

I ended up having to rebed all the bow stanchions. since then I haven't had a leak. You have to take a ton of stuff apart to do it, it's not easy, but haven't seen a leak since!
