Cabin waterleaking

[Ralph Johnstone]

what would you recommend I use to seal it. and Epoxy or Silicon caulking?

STOP and get a grip on what you are doing. Go back and very, very carefully read the previous posts for the answer and why.

I was looking t that small hole and It is almost directly above the leak

What small hole ? Which leak ? Where ? Give the file numbers of your photos to identify what you are talking about. What happened to the video ?

You sound like you're running around in a state of panic and your world is crashing down around your head. These leaks (how ever many ?) are not going to sink your boat. At least not in the near future.

So sit down, have a few (or as many it takes) and put down a plan in writing. Stop treating this problem as a bunch of leaks caused by a bunch of holes. In each case it is one single interor drip which is caused by one single exterior source of ingress.

I realize you live 500 miles from your moorage but since you started this post, I can't see that you are one iota closer to solving one single solitary leakage problem in spite of all the information you've been fed. Nor are you likely to solve one single solitary leakage problem at the rate you're going.

And at the risk of repeating myself :

GO BACK AND RE-READ EVERY LAST BLOODY PREVIOUS POST UNTIL YOU THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.​

I was looking t that small hole and It is almost directly above the leak I will get something to seal that up I am almost positive that would be the source. what would you recommend I use to seal it. and Epoxy or Silicon caulking? do you have any recommendations?

Silicone has very limited uses on a boat, this is not one of them. The hole you are planning to seal (if I'm interpreting the photo correctly) is where the water comes out. Sealing the leak at the exit point will fail regardless of the product you use to seal it. Water will either come out around the seal or find another path and the leak will develop there. The only solution is to find the source on the outside of the boat, handrails, fittings, window seals, etc. and deal with the cause there.

This is why they say "The idea is to keep the water outside the boat!"

fix one leak and find three others.....

When I see a hole like that, perfectly formed, I wonder why it was put there. Plugging it is the last thing I want to do. It may be a weep hole designed by the builder to let any accumulated water/moisture to escape.

Find out what it does before you plug it and create a bigger problem.
