[C320-list] Leaking emergency rudder deck plate.

[Jon Vez]

Unfortunately a very common problem--try removing the screws that hold the
deck plate in place and re-silicone. I did everything you describe and found
the screws were the problem. For what it's worth, my new boat seems to have
the same problem--fresh out of the factory!

Does anyone experience this with their boat. We have continual water ingress
into the emergency tiller well. It appears to be somehow getting through the
deck plate. I've replaced the rubber sealer and also the handle o rings.
Also tried different profile rubber sealer (square and round) To no avail.
Does anyone have the answer?
