I've owned my boat for three years. In that time I've tracked down and fixed several leaks:
- Replaced a port light
- Rebedded another port light
- New gasket on yet another port light
- Replaced the gasket on a hatch lens
However, one leak has vexed me for some time, with water in the bilge every time it rains. Today, I found the rather obvious culprit. See the picture. The mast is open around the bottom of the screw fitting for the in-mast fuller. Rain water just pours on down inside the mast directly into the bilge.
- Do any of you C-310 owners with in-mast furling have this problem?
-- If so, what did you do about it?
- Am I missing some sort of fitting or gasket?
I'd really like to keep the bilge dry and remove this as an ingress point, especially in the event of a tropical storm or hurricane!
All ideas considered. Thank you in advance.
