[Rhodes22-list] Put your heads together

Mon Nov 16 23:30:29 EST 2009

Elle, I had a similar leak when my boat was new - thought the water was
seeping in around the sliding track on the pop top.  It turned out those
were the esacape holes into the cabin, but the water was seeping in around
the shrouds and chain plates.  A line of rubberized silicon caulk each
season where the chain plates pop up through the cabin roof or deck has
taken care of the problem for me.
