Hard to find water leak

[cymeyer]

Have a small water leak on the port side where the water drips into the electrical panel. I can see where it is coming in which is the upper right part of the electrical box opening. I am fairly sure the opening port has been sealed enough. What is odd is it can be dry why I leave port, but after healing under sail, the water comes in.

Next step is to seal the fixed portlight which is above and is mounted horizontally.

If anyone has any other ideas for me, I would appreciate it.

We have a 1997 B 321--If older style Lewmar port with horizontal split on exterior trim ring.
Leaks can occur at this point also could be astansion base has losened had that problem

I own the Oceanis 36cc and I have found my water leaks have been related to the horizontal seems in the Lewmar side windows. Just re caulk from the outside and the leaks will go away.

I will look more closely at the Lewmar windows. I thought I had them sealed up well, but maybe not.

Thanks!

I took the old sealer out from the horizontal seams on the out side frame, tapped the edges so that after I ran my finger over and over on the seam with the silicone, took the masking tape off and no clean up. Worked for me so good luck to you!

Thanks, Garyharoldhair!
