Author	Topic:   cabin leak
handn	posted 12-06-2004 10:25 AM ET (US)         I have a puzzling cabin leak and wonder if any forum readers have had a similar problem and can offer tips for repair. I have a small leak that runs water down the outside wall on the port side. I am unable to cause this leak by spraying water on the boat with a hose. It must occur when the hull and deck are flexing while underway. I think it is coming from under the rub rail where the hull is joined to the deck (unlikely) or from where the bow rail is screwed or bolted to the deck. It looks difficult to get a wrench underneath the deck to get at the attaching bolts.
