Topside Leaks in transom locker

[Marco Dumont]

I reviewed all leaks advise and still cannot figure how to find my leak. After a rainy day, I can find some water filling up in the transom locker coming from the section forward of the transom locker ( I have completed the baby powder trick in the transom locker and it is not leaking from this side). This forward compartment is hard to reach and I have sealed and tightened every bolts and fittings that I think could effect this area (aft of the pedestal).Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to find this leak? The vaccuum trick would not work very well in this section. Has anyone experienced the same problem? How did you solve it?Thanks for your help and ideas.

I solved my problem on my 35.5 by purchasing hatch tape from West Marine and applying it as a gasket around the perimeter of the transom locker hatch and hatch over the battery compartment. I installed hatch latches that tighten down to keep the hatches closed tight. End of ProblemFredd M
