1. I've been wondering for ages where the dampness in the front bunk - seen as a wet patch on the sheet up by the bulkhead - has been coming from. Today I opened the round hatch on the bulkhead and found that that front space had significant quantities of water in it. There does not seem to be any limber holes between this compartment and the rest of the bilge (that is bone dry). Clearly what was happening was that water was splashing onto the hatch and weeping through the seal; and I was starting to think that incontinence had started early Cry

Looks like a slow and very cold mopping out to be done over the next couple of weeks.  Anybody else seen this issue and any idea where the water is coming from?

2.  Both sets of cables leading to the bow navigation lights are badly corroded and need replacing.  Any idea how to get to them and where they actually run once inside the pulpit railings?  I am assuming they exit under the deck behind the anchor locker molding but can’t seem to find them coming through the bulkhead at the edges of the deck into the front cabin...

Happy new year in an hour or two,
My front regularly fills when we play in big seas, the water enters from lots of little places, the pullpit fixings are four, the anchor roller has had a problem, I have that off at the moment and can see where mastic was not working.
Dominic ,who used to work for Hanse, said the drain can weep and I believe there is a thread somewhere.
If your wires are the same as mine, on port side behind water tank going back under the port locker, foward up to port and across under anchor locker and up to starboard, nearly imposable to replace I would guess. The area they go up is between hull and front internal linning, I have cut an access hole in this area for a different project and can feel the wire.
May be able to get a photo tommorow.
I presume your corosion is on terminals in light, I had enough slack to cut off and crimp new conectors then treat with greese.

Hey Peter,
ich hatte bei meiner 370 die gleichen Probleme.
1) Kabeldurchführung an den Positionslaternen zusätzlich mit Butylkautschuk abgedichtet.
2)Wasser im vorderen Schott:
a) durch den Kabelaustritt an der mittleren Bugkorbstütze dringt in kleinen Dosierungen Spritzwasser in die Vordere Bilge.
Mein Bugkorb ist abnehmbar, (Mittlere Stütze ist oberhalb der Positionslaternen getrennt)
so konnte ich die Stütze mit Epoxitharz ausgießen.
Du musst versuchen den Kabelaustritt an der Bugkorbstütze abzudichten
 b )kontrolliere die Revisionsöffnung vorn im Ankerkasten hier fehlte bei mir der O- Ring (135 mm Diameter)
Nur Ruhe alles wird dicht.
Ein gesundes 2012
Gruß aus Hamburg
