Finding a leak, any ideas

[dleibman]

When I recently purchased my 32' Martinique I knew it had a couple of interior water leaks caused by rain. I have been able to find and seal all the leaks except one. It is located over the aft berth on the FLAT part of the overhead, not the slanted areas or by the window behind the berth. It appears to be the area just below the helm bench at the console where the flip up captain's seat is and it's base goes back a few inches. Any ideas or suggestion would be welcomed. By the way, at the console area mentioned it has worn sealent between the deck and bench seat base.

Check all cup holder drains. I have had water draining into my aft cabin and it was following the drain line to the lowest point no where near the cup holder. Just a though.

Where are the arm rest clips and how do I get to them?
In the aft area I'm have leakage above the window as well as the flat area (ceiling) previous owner states he re rebeded the window.
Then in the hanging closet by the v berth leak also that I can't seem to solve..


Not the right area to post but has anyone with a 3200 martinque replaced the starboard fuel sending unit I can't figure out how to get the old one out and replace doesn't appear to be enough room when accessing from the engine compartment

Thanks for any help new boat for me and trying to figure her out still

I discovered a possible leak location being the windshield hold down screws. I had a leak at one of the topside ports. I removed the trim and saw where it was running in the topside deck cavity. The only way it could get there is from a breach of the topside shell - I check the only place a breach could be and discovered that I had a loose and unsealed screw.

Pull up on the arm rest.
