Leaks

posted 09-12-2008 by Lober

After heavy rains, water leaking into upper liner and running down upper dome lights, 12V panel, and/or grip pole near nav station. This problem noted in forums for Hunters 36 feet or more. Seems to be related to the screws holding the fiberglass covers on the top deck that cover the halyards and sheets (the covers include the solar battery charger panel). Solution is to rebed and/or use larger screws when re-installing these panels - in particular, the 8 screws that penetrate the deck.
