[C320-list] Chasing Leaks, yes starting that convo

[Troy Dunn]

If the seal fails, the mast base can leak.   I know some folks tape the
base over the winter while hauled out.   Probably not a bad tactic.

Any original hatch seals on a hull as old as yours are shot.   If they
don’t seal well in the summer they will leak like crazy in the winter.

Opening portlights on the saloon are notorious for leaking through the
dogs, the seals, etc.

Try to see if your deck fills are still bedded well, and of course the head
clean out.   These ports are close enough to the toe rail that if there is
a leak path water will literally be rushing into the boat during a deluge
and since these are all behind bulkheads and liners….it would be very
difficult to spot.

Good luck.   Leaks can be a real bear to track down,
