Hi everyone:
First time poster here. My wife and I just bought a lovely 1985 30+, and we've had a blast with her so far spare some dirty fuel issues causing our diesel to quit (getting that attended to now).
While our survey indicated a dry deck, there are a few minor leaks here and there mainly associated with the port lights, which we know need rebedding. What has me scratching my head are two leaks: one that appears to be behind the galley cabinet behind the stove (the wood paneling on the bottom of the recessed cabinet is in poor shape and damp after rain), and another essentially on the opposite side in the cabinet beside the chart table.
Looking under the headliner, I can't identify a conspicuously leaking piece of deck hardware (life line stanchion, etc.). Could it be that the leak may be coming from under the aluminum rub rails? I've read that these are typically cosmetic, so dare I say the hull/deck seal?
Just curious if others have experienced this. Any/all input welcome-thanks!
