[QUOTE=richie30;6858]I couldn't see where this has been discussed, but I'm sure it has.
Water runs down the companion way hatch groves, and onto the seats, beneath the cockpit cushions.
The floor is always wet in our enclosure during rainy weather.
Has anyone been able to stop or divert this water?
Thanks

I'm not familiar with the set up on the MKII, but on the MKI the water collected in the companion way grooves drains forward though drains in the sea hood.

Could it be than the MKII has holes also and yours are gunked up?

On our Mk II a PO used thin strips of clear plastic (about 1/4" thick X 1/2" wide) and stuck them down with clear silicone on either side of the companionway, they are positioned so that the water is directed onto the floor of the cockpit and not the seats. There's also 5 tiny screws in each of them. Not perfect, but better than getting under the seat cushions.

We never had this problem on the 28, first time it happened on the 36 we were going "What the **!#$#@*@**(#@!!!" Still wonder why it has to be, since the hatch area on both boats looks very similar, but it is different somehow I guess.

The water probably gets under the sea hood covering the sliding hatch. This piece goes forward from just inside the dodger under the traveller almost to the main cabin hatch, and is held in with some screws. The joint between it and the cabin top is sealed with something that will most likely have failed in a boat the age of yours. Once it starts to crack, rain water flows into the groove on either side of the hatch and migrates back to flow down the outside of the bulkhead into the cockpit. We had this problem. It's fairly easy to re-caulk this seam.
