Persistent rain here in So Cal has shown me a new leak in the main salon, above the starboard, aft portlight. The water is coming out where the headliner attaches to the inside top of the cabin. I think it could come from:
1. the starboard handrails, although all the plugs are still in and look clean. I keep the wood varnished and inside covers, or
2. the sea hood over the main sliding hatch, or
3. someplace forward that I never would have thought about. (it's probably this option)
Can someone tell me if the screws that affix the sea hood go through the cabin top? If I were to peel back the headliner and stick my hand in there, would I feel anything? I hate to open the headliner zippers since I would have to sew them back up by hand since the tabs no longer function. Has anyone had this part of the boat leak? (I chuckle typing that since all boats are masters of creating unusual leaks.)
Thanks for any advice or suggestions. This is for an E30+ but I suspect they are quite similar to other models.
