[C320-list] Water leak around sliding companionway hatch

[tharrison at innovations-plus.com]

I have two leaks in the area you speak. One is on the wood handle. I need to remove. Fill with wood glue and re- install,
Second is a hair line crack in the track.

It’s good to have a dry bilge but after the heavy rain in Seattle the past few days I discovered water leaking from the starboard side of the sliding hatch above the companionway. I’m not quite sure how water is getting in yet – I could see by pushing the hatch upwards that there was water between the plastic and the side rails that it sits on.
