Hello all.

I've got a leak that I can't figure out so I'm hoping someone else may have had the same issue.

The lower bunk in the guest state room will be damp/wet in the upper outboard corner from time to time.

The porthole is shut and does not appear to be leaking as the top bunk is bone dry. There's no tell tale trail leading down from either the bulkhead or the hull side.

Anyone else have this issue or have any thoughts?

possible coming from base of window frame. We had a windscreen snap that fell out and leaked. Had a small leak in the head as well. Condensation?
With all the rain this year who knows.

Doug, don't remember what the cabin looks like. Do you have a vinyl liner on the hull side. Could it be leaking in a cleat, hull joint, etc. and then running down behind the vinyl? Can you sprinkle talc powder & see if then you pick up a trail. Just suggestions.
Good luck
Al

P.S. I'm glad somebody finally posted here.

Thanks Boys.

I know in really heavy rain the side windows where they meet the windshield will leak, but i's it not like it's pouring in. I can't see how it could make it's way to the lower bunk without leaving some sort of trail.

It's coming out on Sat so I'll have to get out there w a hose next season.

That's a good point Bill. We do have snaps for a windscreen. I'll take a look at those.
