Hi I have posted previously, about a rainwater leak on my 2007 310 sundancer. My next question pertaining to the problem is this. Is there a way to access the stanchions from underneath. It doesn't seem like I can get to the bolts underneath to tighten or seal them any ideas. The leak isn't big but it is coming from somewhere between dead ahead from bow to about 4 or 5 feet down the starboard side and it only happens if it rains very hard. Thanks ahead of time
 
did mine this winter,removed pedastals drilled holes 1/4in bigger filled with epoxy and redrilled holes. solved problem.
 
I had to cut the headliner to get to most of the stanchion nuts. I used butyl tape to rebed the stanchions and have not had any leaks since. It takes two people because the bolt heads are outside and the nuts are inside.
