I have a 2020 wellcraft 262 fisherman and I notice every time it rains I get water in bilge. Anyone one else have this problem. We’re they able to find where it was coming from?

Could be coming in a lot of places, anchor locker, potholes, railing bases, if you have deck drains in channels where the cabin doors open make sure the hoses are attached. Other than that you'll have to run a hose on different areas till you find it. Right now mine is leaking at the potholes so I bought new ones to install but just haven't got a round to it yet

Which ones did you get to replace them? I think that is one place it is.

Bomar Elliptical portlight Model # 684941, West Marine. I got them in white but you can get black or stainless. Needless to say but the price changes with the trim options

One of my hatch drains were clogged and I fixed it but my engine well hatches have water coming in even after I have and extra weather strip. It’s not coming in from where the sealant is but the cover. What is everyone doing when the cover leaks

Can you post a pic or 2, not real sure what to think, when does it leak?

Those hatches are leaking. They leak when I spray the hose on them. They especially leak when a wake gets in the well and before it drains out through the drains.

On the under side of those there is an "o"ring, both the "o"ring and the covers are available every where you just need the diameter. when you replace the the cover or "o"ring just make sure everything's clean and use a little petroleum jelly or a non adhesive silicone on the "o" ring and don't overtighten them
