A leak (substantial)developed from in side the compression post inside the boat. My guess is the source is at the top either from the antenna or the anchor light. Has anyone experienced this problem and what did you do? Thank you.

Mast Leaks

You didn't say what boat model that you have. But, all the HUNTERS that I have seen have a short tube in the cabin ceiling that contains the mast wiring. Sometimes this tube comes unsealed from the opening in the cabin roof and then sometimes the sealant in the tube becomes unsealed. Either way, you will end up removing your mast in order to fix the leak. I have started removing my mast about every five years and inspecting the wiring and lines for signs of future problems. Then reseal the wiring when re-installing the mast.

Water dripping from Anchor light Cable

We got a good downpour last time we were at the boat and saw water coming out through the cable containing the anchor light wiring. The plan this weekend is to go aloft and investigate. This is the first time we've had the problem. Noticed that galley table stained *yks after uncovering boat from the winter.
