Since you live in the ""
Lobster Capital of the World", we might make a good deal for that secret info.
Just kidding...
If you go to the either side deck there is a molded "hump" that the stanchions bolt through. That hump will take all rain and bow spray on the deck and drain it off in "spill ways" near Midship cleat and aft of the gate way.
We had to seal the top of the rub rail with clear caulking extending about 1 foot either side of the spillways.
Hard to describe, but at each end of the caulking, we built a tiny caulking "dam" so that water wound not run down the top of the rub rail and under it again.

My post #9, and nobody seemed interested after that, so no pictures.

The stanchion bases and their reinforcement braces plus the deck hand grip are the only penetrations near the forward cabin closet and medicine cabinet.
This is the link on how to re-bed and seal those spots.

@mainesail. I looked at few of the stanchion bases and re-bedded them per that link. They were NOT the leaks.
The bracing screws could be. It would be very difficult to get much water around their bases to drip inside since they are bolted to the top of the "hump" with backer plates.
You might make sure your anchor closet lid channel and closet drains are open and clear too. You can use a shore water hose to verify those drains too. If the Port side drain there is NOT working then the drain hoses might be loose and a royal pain to fix.
This is a Port side picture of our boat prepared for Hurricane Nate [no damage BTW] for those who like to see what we are discussing.
