: The question is "Where is it leaking?" I would start with
: Coaming, seams and then check the fit of the skirt.
Checked the coaming to baseplat fit and it's pretty tight - gooped and SS screws up through the bottom every 4" inches. The seams were first dabbed with Marine Goop (in any stitch holes that were a bit big for the paint) and then I filled them with a lot of paint, so I can't see them leaking. Cockpit lip is pretty smooth, no sharp curves to the coaming so the skirt does not have to conform around any awkward, i.e., sharp bends. I have 5/8" of a lip so there's good grip and ample skirt to lip contact.
I'll do some testing with the skirt attached and trying running water over the deck with a hose to see if there are any leaks.
