We have owned a 25 foot O'Day sailboat for 3 years now. It is a 1980 have this mysterious leak that is making us crazy. The water gathers port side on the bunk that tucks back under along the cockpit. It also sometimes gathers under the stove. We have checked every imaginable place. We replaced the handrails and the wooden slides for the hatch.... The chain plates look okay. Looking for ideas on what to try next..... HELP! Our e-mail lawjbeck@comcast.net

I had a similiar problem ...

and it turned out to be the rub rail. I took out several feet of rub rail and rebeded all the uncovered screws, reinstalled the rub rail and that seem to solve the leak problem.
