Hunter 450 Leaking Portside arch

[AKlight]

Hey everyone!

I have a leak that comes into the aft cabin dripping from the light over the hanging locker next to the shower stall. I pulled the plate under the arch and the wires are providing the path down, but when I removed the engine instrument panel, I can feel the wires (dry) going into a 'pipe'. I have found a post where the owner pulled the foreword and aft caps on the arch and then redid the caulking to fix his leak. I am wondering, is the arch a solid piece? If so what would removing those caps provide access to (if anything).

Thanks!

Dan

The arch should be tubular, otherwise it would be extremely heavy and would not provide a conduit to run wires through to the arch speakers and light.

Please post photos, including caps.
