Has anyone experience a persistent leak like this? We have a Catalina 30 Tall Rig. See attached pictures of the leak. We've replaced the vent twice. The second time thought the life caulk had erroded the plastic ring. The vent was replaced by the marina summer of last year - no leaks. We covered the boat after it was pulled in Sept. When we checked in on the boat this month we found the leak continues. Haven't been able to determine where the leak originates. The nico solar vent is the first picture and the second is where it dripped and what accumulated.:confused:

Where is the vent located?

I have found that so many of my leaks originate up stream. Maybe one of the hand rails or the screws from sliding hatch cover.

The only thing that sucks is the water is dark, which means the core is soaked through...

I'm thinking a few 5 gallon buckets of Life Caulk and one of those driveway squeegees they use to lay down sealer would be the answer to all my troubles!

Good luck
Chris
