Topic:   Water intrusion on 15 Dauntless

posted 07-20-2004 05:41 PM ET (US)         Aloha! I was rewiring my 15 Dauntless all-around light mounted on the gunnel next to spot where the s.s. railing begins( I saw some bluish crud on the wires)and I unscrewed the plug for the light and removed it for cleaning . Next I removed the metal cowling covering the wires near the deck only to discover an open hole! It seems that the installer just drilled two holes to meet at 90 degrees and covered the lower one with just a s.s. cowling. I found about a cup of water in the hole sitting on bare foam.All this time I've been washing my boat not knowing that I was inadvertantly filling this hole. Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe some other 15 Dauntless owners could check their boats and tell me how the light should properly be installed? Thanks for your time, Shinchan150
