[C320-list] Water where it should not be

Check the seal under the port side stanchion gate.

I also found water there after sailing hard over in big waves as well as in
the port storage compartment next to the drawers in the vee-berth.  In the
storage area in the aft cabin under the little seat I noticed a small
opening up high towards the forward side.  I checked the bottom of the
hanging locker next to it and it was dry.  So I'm thinking of using
fibreglass the seal this hole as I think it allows bilge water to enter when
hard over.  It has rained and no water in these compartments so I know it's
not leaking in from the top and my bilge pump only comes on after I've run
the engine for a while (stuffing box should leak a little then) so I know
it's not a leak through the hull and filling my water tanks have not impact
either.  Just some glass work that should have been finished  properly in my
mind.

Water where is should not be:

I have recently found water in the storage compartment located in the aft
cabin next to the hanging locker. This compartment is under the small seat
between the hanging locker and the bunk. Any idea where the water is coming
from
or what drain might be clogged that is keeping normal water from the packing
gland from reaching the bilge.

Thanks
