Check your hull/deck joint. mine leaked about that much before I resealed a few seemingly small cracks/gaps in the factory filler.
My CB lift cable hole has always been well sealed, never a leak.... at least O'DAY got one boat right. (Don't get me started about other odd
"defects".)

I like your cleats for the CB I'm going to do mine like that. I also noticed that the hatch on the port side seat has a fabric type latch with maybe a snap closure. I like that, my leg has scars on it from the original latch assembly. Which is what is still on my boat.

Thanks SD - those cleats work great!

Yes, I put some weather stripping on the underside of the "icebox" lid, and installed that Type 17 strap with a button snap and a snad. It never had any sort of original latch on it. Also sealed up the bungee hinges, but anytime I get water in over the rail, it still gets in there. It's useless as an icebox - I pretty much use it as a trash can ... ;-P
