Bavaria 46 cruiser. Rain water leaks

[The Bear]

I have a Bavaria 46 Cruiser 2007.

I had a lot of leaks from hatches and fish-eye windows sealed multiple times and all good.

I have a rainwater leak that drips down onto the main Table and seating from the roof padding up high, near the downward deck windows but not them.

Water can run from anywhere, has anyone else come across this problem before.

thanks, guys

My 40 had a poor gland fitting at the mast base which was leaking. Could it be a gland at the base of the mast?

Hi, I guess it comes from the fixed Lewmar windows in the deck. In my case it was not the sealing between the window and the deck. It was an internal leakage within the window where the two sides of the aluminum frame are mounted together. Very easy to fix with some Panterra. See picture.

I would recommand do disassemble the cover on the inside below the windows. In our case it looks like the first picture. The last picture shows the repaiered frame of the cover.


By the way: I have some unsolved leackages at the hull/deck connection.....

I also have a leak after the rain!

Boat is Bavaria 36 2003y.

After one night of rain i found 2-3l of water in rear two holes in saloon.

I have no idea where it might come from.

Hole, nearest to mast is dry.
