Finally found where water was entering cockpit storage lazarettes on our R31CB.
The not the deck seals as I though, but drink holders.
None of the drink holders have drain hoses to bilge, just drain into lazarettes.
Found unsealed wire holes on port and starboard forward holders leading down.
The aft ones by the seat may account for mystery water near stern as they drain straight down.
Filled all drink holder drain holes with silicone. Would rather empty then have water rotting plywood.
This might have contributed to the leak in aft cave I blamed on courtesy light.
 
Hi Bill46-
Hey, we got some clear rubber hose from West Marine and attached it to the bottom of the drink holders. Heat the hose up in hot water then cram it on the bottom nipple of the drink holder and attach a small hose clamp. Then you can direct the water to any destination in your bilge.
