I thought I had all the leaks fixed on the boat but the last few rains I had water on the floor in the head area and could never find a wet spot where it came from. Wednesday I went to the boat and it started to rain really hard-I found the leak. It was coming in the radio coax to the antenna and dripping to the floor. I had a leak under the mast and cut a hole to clean out the damaged wood last year, I cut a piece of teak to place over the compression post area and filled the void with filled resin. Apparently I disturbed the coax fitting when cleaning out the bad wood and caused an additional leak.

Dave,Sombody posted something similar to that years ago and it always stuck in my head. Mother nature is always trying to kill you. It's your job to prevent that.
