[C38] Quarterberth water leaks

[Phil Gay]

I have had a persistent leak at the foot of our quarterberth.  I trouble
shot it about 8 years ago and decided that it was coming from the combing
compartments in the cockpit.  I carefully taped and applied sealant along
the bottom edge of the compartments and drill additional drain holes in the
cockpit seatbacks to drain the compartments.  I even took the wooden
bulkhead out of the foot of the quarterberth and placed plastic sheeting
there to divert any water that might get through.  Nothing worked!  I have
continued to have the leak.  This afternoon I got a helper to spray water
everywhere on that side of the cockpit working the way up from the cockpit
floor.  It turned out that water leaks from inside the aft starboard
compartment down into the quarterberth.  I plan to clean it out and apply
more sealant.  

 

Has anyone discovered a better solution?
