Greetings! I have a 2005 H36. After 2 seasons, I now have rain water coming down my compression post! Has anyone had the same problem and can give me some insight on where it might be coming from?? I've sprayed the deck at the mast with a hose to see if it's coming in from there but nothing came in?? Help! The floor and table are starting to get water stained! *yks

Jack, we had the same problem, couldn't isolate it with a hose, so we did what Jim did-seems to have solved the problem!

And if the above doesn't work......good luck

You will have to take the mast off, loosen the bolts and remove the metal plate, followed by recocking. It will cost hundreds of dollars. I was able to slow down the leak but not totally stop it (I was not willing to pay $600 for all that labor). I also placed a small tuperwear basket on the inside above the wood....it at least collects the few drops which evaporates in sunny southern california. It realllllllllllllllly bothered me that a boat less than 2 years would do this. ogod luck abe

Thanks guys! You've been a big help! I'll give it a shot this weekend. Abe, you're right-I would have expected this from my old 1980 O'Day NOT a 2 year old boat!! This is not new technology here. ;(
