Bonjour..
On my RM 1200 the hatch in the companionway down from the cockpit is leaking. When rain or splash from the sea reaches the top of the hatch, the water flows forward under the “hatch garage” in the deck, before it ends up leaking/ dripping down from the roof in between the gally and navigation position.
Are there anybody out there having the same problem, and possible have a solution on how to fix it?

Best regards Henrik

Hi henrick,
You are not the only one with that leakage.

See topic : viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1671&p=23585&hilit=hatoup#p23585

I drilled 4 holes (10mm) in the front part of what you call the "garage" near the corner, as low as possible. You'll find that there is a piece of wood just behind the fiberglass which has to be drilled also. Unfortunatly I don't have any picture.
The following picture shows what's been done on Virgule. Guinic has the same and both believe water is entering that way.
My holes are smaller and a few millimeters up and i haven't noticed any entry.
