Took a few more pics yesterday to have a better look it appears to be around the drain hole . Although not a nice looking area it was all dry and solid .
Any input on the 3M sealant products ?

It appears to be the area around the drain , before the pics , the area was general . I'm going to try seal off the area with a light weight poly between the hatch lid and deck to try and dry it out .I'm sorry, but I'm not getting it.Is your leak coming from the hull/deck joint or from the anchor locker drain at the bottom of said locker?
The 1/2" copper pipe that is the drain for the anchor locker in early 80's Catalina's is known source of leaks to the bilge. Some folks put a smaller dia tube inside of that one. I plan on drilling mine out and putting a larger drain. Hole in bow tube OD. Bigger hole in locker so I can get to the back side of the bow hole to add epoxy around the tube.
Probably end up with 1/2 copper again as it will outlast me!! Other options are a fiberglass tube

Looking at this pic it seems you have a drain hole and then damage to your well. I would plug the drain hole with a plug well greased up and then spread West Epoxy, thickened with one of their fillers into damaged area. When the West sets, remove the greased plug and I think you will be good to go.
