[Public-list] Rain Leak Question

[Amy & David Swanson]

Andrew -

I had the same thing on #229, except it was the starboard  engine bed log 
(or whatever you call it).  In my case, rainwater was coming in through the 
cockpit locker on that side, running through the large hole that separates 
the cockpit locker from the engine compartment, then down along the engine 
bed.  This is actually a c-channel with the end capped, and the water would 
build up then flow around the end & under the steps.  I resealed the locker 
lid (more than once), and I drilled out what looked to be an original drain 
hole in the engine bed (there was a matching one on the port side so that 
water that runs down here drains into the bilge instead of building up.

I would check you gasket material around the cockpit locker hatch, and your 
ice box hatch & drain since they are on the port side.  Look too to see if 
you have a plugged drain hole on that engine bed piece.  If you drill it 
out, make sure you have gotten all the water out from behind it first.
