There's water in a storage under the bow cushion. There's no drain to bilge so I have to bail about a gallon a season. After hard rain there's a coffee cup full in there. Cushions aren't wet so it's getting in from topsides and not overhead. Fresh water fill pipes through there but those don't seem to leak. The anchor locker is above as well as a bunch of railings. I'm baffled as to where to start caulking. Or if that's even a good idea?

In my hunter 285 my anchor locker drains through a small tube / hose to a through hull on the bow above the water line. It is just below the fresh water overflow drain. If yours has this hose, could it be damaged and leaking when it rains?

I had a similar issue. I caulked where the pulpit joins the deck, around the fresh water fill and the cleats. Now I only get a thimble of water even after a hard rain or washing the boat.
