When we purchased our Symbol 41 Sundeck last August, it had all sorts of leaks that took a bit to chase down. After a day of just searching, I just said 'screw it' and I lifted all the deck attachments (hand rail stanchions and a few cleats) and re-bedded everything. It only took an afternoon to get the job done. It was much faster than just trying to find what was leaking and where the water was coming from. I also re-bed around the forward deck hatch while at it. Dry boat ever since...
