We spent last week up in the San Juan's and with the exception of the first three days of rain, had a great time and weather.
As our boat is normally under cover we have not had any trouble with leaks before this. But during a heavy rain we had water coming in from two locations into the pilothouse.
1) From under the door that leads from the pilothouse to the flybridge. I thought it was because the weep holes in the frame were plugged but after cleaning them out the drips continued. The water was not coming in through the gasket that presses up against the plexiglass door but it seemed to come from under the door framing. Any suggestions?
2) We also had some drips that come down onto the settee in the pilothouse. The drips would appear from under and behind the wood paneling above the settee, run down the wall and collect on the top of the back rest. Suggestions?
There were no other leaks present during the couple days of solid rains so we are very happy about that. If I fix these then we should be good to go.
Thanks in advance for the input.
