water intrusion in v berth '07 280 DA

[majmacv]

On occarion the upper bolster in the vberth (port) gets damp. the only water that the boat was exposed to was a wash-down the day earlier and the boat is in a covered slip. I'm guessing the leak is coming from the Anchor locker but there is no evidence of this. What is odd is that I wash this boat quite often, but the leak occurs only about twice a year Has anyone experienced this on a newer 280 DA....? (....I think I'd trade my genset quirkiness for a water intrusion issue!)

My friend had the same problem and we traced it down to the Hatch. WE pulled the hatch and re-sealed the hatch with sealant. problem went away.

Thanks! I will look at it and see if that's the culprit

Not sure on the 280 - but has a similar leak on my 310. It was the port light on top of the boat that needed re-sealing.
