I have fresh water leaking into the area behind the aft berth and transom. I've reset and caulked the drain scupper in the cockpit and am still getting water.

Does anyone have any ideas as to the source and fixes?

i have a 26. I was getting a leak from my salon fixed windows. it would follow the cabiin liner to the back and drain down into the hold just aft of the rear bulkhead.

I also had a bad leak coming from my instruments mounted in the cabin trunk in the cockpit.

I also had a small leak or two from the hinges that closed the cockpit lockers.

Make sure the drain line itself is not leaking....cold air & water can make them crack...mine did.. Also, check around the stern cleats...our boats have carpeting / liner material back there. Feel around the base of the cleat or have someone shoot water on the stern cleats with a hose...Also, check the underside of the cockpit floor if it is an LE model w/wheel. The floor flexes and can allow leaks around the base of the pedestal. Patrick in Wichita
