I would assume you have the standard lemar port lights?
I had a leak and seached for some time before I found it.
The port lights are a 2 piece aluminum extrusion. The water leaked in through the gasket as shown in the attached photo, along the inside of the extrusion to the inside latches. There are small threaded holes in the pockets where the latch goes. The pockets fill with water and if there is enough water they over flow, dripping onto the wood work below.
just my 2 cents

I have a 281 that had a similar leak on the starboard side. Found the problem was where the wire to the bow lights goes through the deck. The silicone around the wires had disintigrated, letting a little water sneak in. I don't know if your wires emerge on the port side or not, but at least check out any area where wires go through the fiberglass deck.
