Post by edt »

Have had major problem with leaking around all windows and the rear of the salon where the rear curved windows are. Have recaulked most of windows which has helped, however still getting leaks in rear of salon behind l couch. Is this a problem on most international sedans

there wa a similar issue with the 10 Meter series SEDANS awhile back and if I recall correctly, it was determined thge water was coming in from another spot, perhaps around the air intake vents (side vents, not the stainless grille areas) and then running down.

Perhaps someone else can shed some light on this issue?

Here's a link to an article by a marine surveyor, he mentions in his article about the curved front window section being prone to leaks. Hope it helps http://www.yachtsurvey.com/boatreviews/ ... 8meter.htm
