Water leak into port side in electrical panel

[cymeyer]

I get water into our electrical panel area when healing into heavy wind. Can't seem to trace where it is coming in. Not a lot, but it does spill onto the nav table which is not great.

Has anyone had this? Any ideas what this could be? I can see the 'trickle line" on the right side near where the stancion is. Could be that water is coming thru the stancion from rain and watering... I will seal it up and see if that fixes the problem..

I was doing some work on my 323 and had that nav leak plus water out of the overhead light above the sink. I had unscrewed the deck panel that the sliding hatch goes under, but did not put the screws back in right away. The screwholes go through the panel then the deck molding, which allowed rain onto the ceiling panel. Water ran down to nav, but mostly through the ceiling light hole. Try taking out the screws that hold the hatch-cover panel in, dip in caulk and re-install.

Thanks, Ron20324. I need to figure out how to do this. Looks like I may have to take the traveler off and figure out how the hatch cover comes off. Must be some screws somewhere... I willl be anxious to get this fixed!

I didn't mean to say take the cover off. Just remove the screws that hold it. Then with a nozzle on the caulk tube, squeeze some into the screw hole and reinsert the screw.

Thanks. I will do that this weekend.
