Default Does your cabin leak?

I have noticed that when it rains I end up with some water in the floor of the cabin. I havent gone out and gotten in the cabin while it's raining but I am assuming that is is comming from around the sliding hatch.

Is this just the way it is, of can you fix it?

Mine leaks a little where the two sliding hatches meet right in the middle. *Not a lot. *Never attempted to correct this. *Way to go selling your motor. *Billy Mac *;D

Mine leaks a little as well. Mostly when the boat is tilited up on the trailer, water sits at the base where the hatch rails meet the at beginning of the hatch opening. Just below where the winshield sits. Caulk around the hatch rails.

No stains and the SHAG carpet on the roof is always dry. It doesn't look like there would be any way of stopping the water because you cant seal the slider with anything cause then it wont slide.

Oh well, I guess they are not the perfect boat, just nearly perfect.

Mine never leaks unless I'm pulling it down the road 60 mph in the driving rain or stuffing the bow in a heavy chop.
