[C320-list] Rain water under the floor boards in the galley

[Dave Hupe]

Art-
Do you mean the flush-mounted  circular deck hatch for the emergency tiller handle? It is a bad design to prevent leaks.

I did some instrument replacements this last year and found the previous owner. Had used a lot of silicone sealant to prevent leaks in that area. Based on the way it’s design, I can understand why. I resealed it with butyl tape and caulking.

My hot water tank is empty after I put in a bipass. My water issue happened after I took off my winter cover. There was no sign of water while the cover was on. I will check the propane area as well as the cover on the emergency tiller. The other area of concern is the top of the campionway.

I also had a water line between the galley and the head leak and "feed" water to the  structural grid. That seep looked like a keel/keel bolt leak, but was not. None of these appeared in the engine pan or propeller shaft areas.

The water gathers under the galley floorboards. No water in the engine well. The back shaft by the engine area dry. Water is coming under and ending up under the floor boards.
