Leaking Deck

Hi

H386 2003.
Leaking through the 3 centre lights above the saloon table. re-did the screws on the forward of the two deck plates covering the halyards etc that run back to the cockpit, but still getting some leak through the most forward of the three lights (the other two seem to have dried up). Removing it the GRP of the deck has water on/in it. Directly above that is just aft of the mast where the deck actually collects water (a poor design as its completely flat so the rain just sits where the halyards and sheets come out by the boom vang). Any ideas? Is it the water seeping through the GRP or likely seeping through the mast footings? Or is it still seeping through the screw fittings to the lowest option of gravity and I haven't
fixed the screws enough?

Cheers

Adam

You haven't sufficiently caulked the screws. It took me three tries! No leaks now for several years. I would recaulk each time a screw is removed.
