Water leaks

[Tim Jodice]

Hello to all,

I have three water leaks and I was looking for suggestions. Leak one is on the shelf above the cabinet that is to the right of the sink and in front of the stove. Leak two is in the aft cabin located at the front right relative the boat or the left down by your feet when laying down. Leak three is also in the aft cabin located in the center rear or about where your waist would be if you were laying down on the right side of the bed. These are all slow leaks and are only noticeable when underway in the rain or very heavy rain tied down. Thanks to all.

Tim

I can't comment specifically on your boat model, but I have found and corrected several rainwater leaks over time. It can be a slow process of elimination. Where the water ends up leaking may not be at all where the water is coming in. Try using a hose on the outside and systematically work your way from bottom most leak candidate to top most on the outside. You may need to hold the hose in one spot for a while if its a slow leak. I have had leaks in the top/bottom of boat overlap under the rub rail and from the windshield. Others here have posted that they found leaks in the bow rail mounting and the cutouts on the bow (for hatches and such).

Sea Ray side hatch windows are notorious for leaks if the three tabs that secure it are loose. Then the water runs downhill and ends up dripping a few feet from the window.
Double check the three tabs with a phillips head screwdriver. Sounds too simple but it took me all summer a few years ago to trace my leak down to loose screws on the window tabs.

I bet the water in the aft cabin is coming from the slide window just below the cockpit lounger (port side).
