For the past several years, we've been getting water in through the port side forward corner under the companionway hatch. This boat has a seahood, so we removed and thoroughly re-bedded that -- no improvement. This happens only during heavy rains (lots of that this spring/summer on the east coast). We are beginning to suspect that the problem may relate to being on a mooring -- we never had this problem when we were on a dock. We think possibly the pull of the mooring is causing bow down trim -- so the water effectively piles up and overflows the drainage wells that are molded into the sides of the companionway opening (between the track and the opening). Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks! |
