Hey
Im new to this site. I just bought a 1989 sea ray sundancer 220da i have noticed that on the starboard side in the cuddy cabin the whole upper side by the widow get wet. What could it be around the windo isent wet so Im thinking the rail may be allowing water in? Any help would be great appreciated.

take a look a the bottom of the window frame, do you have a couple of plastic plates screwed on. These should be the drain for when water gets in the frame if they are plugged, water will flow behind the the window and empty in the cabin, you can rebuild them if required and the parts should be available through taylor made.

The bow rail or the rub rail could be the culprit. If you have this on a trailer here's the plan. On level ground raise the bow as high as possible. Water hose with minimal water flow and start from the stern and work forward.
Of course you'll need someone in the boat to keep an eye out for the leak source. It may be subtle so make certain all is dry before you start.
It would probably be a lot easier just to remove the screws from the deck plate, rebed and replace.
Take a good look at the underside of your rubrail. Make sure it's sealed. Look at ALL of it, not just around the leak area.
Of course there's the port itself. Wouldn't hurt to plan on doing some checking there as well.
Nice and easy is the trick.

hey
thank you for both reply im going to check it out tomr.
The window frame on the outside has the rubber gasket inside the metal frame if you move it there screws are there to remove the frame. Where would the drain be from the inside of the window.
