We fared better than others from Ian. We took 92 mph winds against the stern. I’m preparation , I taped up the master stateroom window which has leaked on me in the past.Against The rear bulkhead carpet is soaking wet. Some of the built in dresser drawers are wet inside. The window didn’t leak. Where is this water coming from? Everything else is dry. The bildge that backs up to that bulkhead is also dry. I cannot figure out how that must water got in and soaked the carpet. Any thoughts?

Re: 58 YF water in master
Talk a close look at the hose from the aft deck drain. On a 61 CPMY it's accessed through the cabinet in the head.

Re: 58 YF water in master
Just experienced this on our 61 MY during Ian only in our guest bedroom. After tearing apart the closet, found the elbow from the port mid drain completely disintegrated. Quick trip to the big box store and a few cuss words later all is repaired. Note to self, check the other 3 drains this week!

Re: 58 YF water in master
My drains are at the other end of the master forward toward the head on one side and the closet on the other. I’ll dig in but unless the water is twinning back toward the stern that’s not it. I think I can access both through the Chest and the closet. They would run down the into the Bildge with their location. Noting forward of the wet spot to the drains locations are wet.

Re: 58 YF water in master
I have a 53YF. Had a similar issue albeit not Hurricane related yet water on the stateroom floor. First off the cockpit hatch covers are horrible when it comes to managing rain water. They get over whelmed and water ends up in the bilge. I can only imagine the rain you had. In my case the water made its way into the accommodation from the bulkhead between the stateroom and the space under the cockpit. It’s a plywood bulkhead which had gotten punky over time and allowed water to flow through it. May want to check that out. As for the drawers…. No idea. I did have some water damage from rain water blown into the aft head fan clam shell…. but that was all on dresser tops.

Re: 58 YF water in master
I’ll check that out. I have a fuel tank in the forward side of the cockpit. I can’t get between. I’ll try to scope that out. Water seems to flow pretty well out of the cockpit but that’s a good start. Only other thing would be maybe it’s coming in the rub rail somehow on the side but I would think that would run down not into the floor.

Re: 58 YF water in master
With all the major rocking could your water tanks have developed a leak or crack?

Re: 58 YF water in master
My stupid self taped the window itself up. I didn’t tape the edge of the frame around the bulkhead. That’s what’s been leaking. With the amount of water it just dumped right down the back side of the boat right into the edge of the frame.
