H336 leaking kitchen cabin light - hints?

[antoineH336]

Hello All!

Any of you 336 or 340 owners that have been trough similar issue?

It's not coming from the 3 big bolts that holds the boom track... But before starting looking every where else, in you could give me hints or past experience, I would greatly appreciate

That is a tough one. With those headliners the water can travel a long way before it finds a way out. On my H26 I had a leak along the port wall right at the headliner. It took me two years to track it down. First I rebedded all of the deck hardware, NO JOY and then one day I was replacing the little rubber stops that keep the cockpit locker from slamming hard and the pack I purchased came with 6 and I only needed three for the job. The companion way hatch was using the same rubber stops so I decided to swap out the old crummy ones with these new ones and discovered that the screw holding the rubber stop in my companion way track had punctured the gel coat and was into raw fiberglass. DING! filled that in and set it correctly and no more leak.

I think the answer is that it could be from almost anyplace on the top side.

Once had a leak in that area caused by the cable entry through the cabin top.
