Forward birth leak

[Dani Girl]

Hi All,
I have a leak in the forward birth, starboard side, 10" forward of the port light on the side. It is in the space where I can get my hand, but I cannot visualize it. I have a 1999 Beneteau Oceanis 411. Could this be a stantion or a deck screw coming through the rub rail? If you know what this might be and/or how to get to it, I would appreciate your feedback.

thank for the help,
Dani Girl

Nice boat @Dani Girl.
Leaks can come from several things. Thru screws are only one possibility. How about reaching in with your phone and taking a picture? Look at what is on the deck above and around the area. Water likes to travel down hill but it can fool you as it sometimes enters the hull and moves several feet before coming through the deck. A picture of the area on the deck might be helpful.

I see your report Everett as a home port. Welcome.

There’s a great little camera from depstech that you can use with a phone to reach into tiny spots. It’s less than 20 bucks, super handy.
