Leak.

[bill46]

Still have a leak into cave head area on our 2014 R31CB
Turned boat around for port tie to access area better.
Re-bedded all 3 lamps with butyl - https://shop.marinehowto.com/products/bed-it-tape.
Expensive, but looks like it will seal for years.
Confident lamps are dry.

Rear fixed window interior wood looks like it has been wet. Cannot figure out how to remove.
Very slight crack outside
on aft side glass bedding above leak. Taped over.

Still leaking. Seems to be coming from roof of cabin.

Cannot figure out how to remove eyebrow with handholds to look under.
Considering just filling 1/2' between it and roof with butyl bead.

thanks for any ideas
Bill

Bill,

I had a leak in the same area. Try spraying water on the outside of the window all around the calked areas. This is how I determined pretty much exactly where my leak was. I then used some boat-life black marine calk and ran a new bead around the window seem. Before applying a wiped with alcohol. I also taped area and wore throw away rubber cloves before applying.

Fixed!

I had same problem with water leak into the V-berth from the "eyebrow" - cabin roof joint, and I fixed it by putting line of marine caulk to seal between the eyebrow and the cabin roof.

I just fixed a leak on my boat I put blue tape on the windows and port hole and hand holds and sprayed it down with water. Removing the tape until It started to leak. Turned out it was the hand hold on the roof.. i had to remove the headliner to access the nuts then sealed it with butyl tape.

Finally believe I have fixed the leak.
Aft side of fixed windows on port rear quarter had a slight crack in caulking.
Applied butyl rubber on top of original seal and put gorilla tape over rubber.
Does not look bad, and does not leak with deluge from garden hose!
Now just need to reassemble panels removed.
