[C320-list] Leak in Sea Deck

[Chris Burti]

If you wish to know, I suspect that the term you are looking for may
be 'sea hood'.
While the sea hood on the C-320 is sealed and is not supposed to leak,
any runoff from the top of the hatch cover will go into the gutters
that you describe and then into the cockpit. That is the original
designed purpose and the rule on Commitment is tha the cockpit and
swim platform get washed last. I start at the bow, move to the cabin
top when I get to the forward hatch, finish the cabin top, then finish
the deck, finish the cockpit next and finally finish the swim
platform.

Fair winds,
Chris Burti

> I am a new owner of a 320 and I have a leak in the "Sea Deck" (at least I believe that is what I think  it is called) It is the hard fiberglass piece that covers the area in front and to the sides of the hatch cover.  When it rains or when I wash the boat, water runs down the troughs on which the hatch cover slides directly into the cockpit. This make a big mess.  I can't believe this is part of the design of the boat and have not found a solution to the situation.  I would appreciate any ideas.
