Water Ingress - Forward Vent Window
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:19 pm
After the 6" of snow that recently fell melted off, I found quite a bit of water on my galley counter top (and the the stuff I had piled upon it).
It looks like it was leaking through the forward vent window, onto the ledge, then walked to the starboard side. I recall closing the window tight, but I am curious if there is a chronic failure in that area to tackle first. I will take a closer look on my next visit, but I am smart enough to know that when it comes to boats, where a leak drips from can be far from where it starts!
I have a near-future plan to commission a window wrap for that area which should keep some of those window leaks to a minimum.
