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

[Greg Arnold]

On my boat water came down the inside of the mast. There was no drain
hole at the base of the mast, so the water level rose inside the mast. 
There is a tube inside the mast that the wires feed into.  Once the
water level rose to the top of the tube, water went into the tube and
ran down the wires into the bilge.

Solution was to drill a drain hole.  Why they didn't do this at the
factory is a mystery.

The boat is out on the hard now and I’m addressing the slight cracks on the front of the keel using gflex and then additionally I’m resealing the washers around the keel bolts.

It’s been about three months that it’s been on the hard so the accumulation of about 2 to 3 gallons is a bit concerning. I think I’ve traced a leak down to at least one window. ( the one in the cockpit starboard side facing aft). However that can’t be the only source. Anyone have any ideas to start tracing? I’m wondering if the lockers are leaking to the bilge. Any thoughts to begin the hunt would be appreciated.
