Water in 280 aft cabin

[tonytav]

Hey guys, as the title says ,I have water in aft cabin. It is a 2005 , 280 dancer,4.3s. With ac and genny.Was heading down to boat today to see if I can find the leak. Was going to wedge myself in bilge and have kids spray down the boat and see if I could see anything. Just wondering if anybody's dealt with this before or has any tips to look for. Thanks tony.

Where specifically in the aft cabin? I had water in the far back, aft corner of the aft cabin on my 280 and I traced it to the electrical receptacle at the helm. When it would rain the water would sneak in through the little hole under the windshield that's above the throttle and near the helm. It would flow along the inside sill and stream into the receptacle and into the aft cabin.
