Water in cabin


 

I just bailed and sucked (shop-vac!) about 100 litres of water from my N16's cabin.? It seems to have come from the rain, not the sea.? Where are common places for deck leaks?? Has anyone installed a pluggable drain through the transom on their N16?? Is there a plank of wood in the transom, and if so what kind and how thick?

I have had this same exact issue! I can’t seem to locate where the water is coming. I’m hoping someone in this community has had experience fixing this issue. Cheers!

I have had this problem with other boats and thee are some things to look for. Anything that’s bolted on can leak, so shrouds, cleats, even upper rudder fudge on (lower will leak salt), under the mast, any instruments mounted in the cockpit wall.?
Any openings of course, vents and the windows, the cabin entry and anyplace wires go through the cabin too.?
I have heard of leaks in the hull/deck joint.?
I have found leaks by having someone with a hose go around the outside whip you’re inside with a flashlight, also dry areas out really well and out newspaper under spits that might leak if it going to rain.?
On a trimaran I pressurized the float with a shop vac and sprayed soapy water on stuff but I’m not sure how that would work in a Neptune.?
