Thanks jimH.
This is the boat! Did you have a similar problem?



ROFLMAO


Based on his recent comments about Sea Ray owners, JimH somehow managed
to refrain from warning you not to get your gold chains stuck in the
repair job. Kudos to JimH for his self control.

Nobody can diagnose your problem or suggest the proper solution via
crystal balls. Some of what Jim suggests might work, depending on the
cause, but you would want to be very careful about tring to loosen your
flybrige to raise it and stuff some marine sealant into the joint.
Those FB's are normally chemically bonded (glued) and/or glassed in
place as well as mechanically fastened. It's typically easier to remove
the cowling and seats as this is often required for truck transport-
but prying or jacking up the cabintop/flybridge deck is not something
to attempt based on an internet guess.
Correcting a structural failure of that magnitude would be appropriate
only for a highly experienced worker, and if that is indeed the
required remedy it will cost less to have a boatyard do it for you and
do it right than to ultimately hire a boatyard to rebuild a botched up
do-it-yourself job.

Anything fastened to the FB somewhere near the leak? Rail? Table
socket? Any sort of fitting at all? (It wouldn't absolutely have to be
directly above the leak, as your FB deck is likely crowned and small
amounts could wick outboard along the underside).

Check out and rule out all of the simple stuff first, but before you
start removing decks, etc, you will want to consult with a local,
on-scene, qualified expert.
