This past weekend I was able to get into my H260 cabin to inspect for leaks. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I noticed that water had collected in the cabin light over the table just in front of the mast. I was concerned that there was a leak at the base of the mast. The boat has been covered with snow for the past two weeks and I thought now would be a good time to check. I am happy to report that there was not a drop of water anywhere in the boat and the light was dry. At this point I can only assume that the water in the light must have resulted from moisture in the cabin that just collected in the light. Anyone else have any observations?

From the Running Lights???
There is one thing you might check out - (this worked on my boat but may not on yours) ... look at the wire coming from your running lights and follow it aft. If the running lights are above deck and the wire goes below deck, and there is no drip loop, then it's possible water can follow the wire "downhill". If the wire is installed in the underside of the coachroof then there's no telling where the "drip" will go but as long as the wire is still going downhill the drip will probably follow the wire. If you're groping at straws this might help.
