Water Ingress

[Grajan]

Looking at a Princess 360, unsure of age, probably one of the earlier ones however boat in nice condition BUT there appears to be water ingress into the twin berth side cabin below helm which is soaking Carpets etc. Is this a common fault or could this be peculiar to this vessel?
Can anyone suggest where this dampness could be coming from and what would be the easiest way of stopping .
doesn't appear to be coming from the sliding window or make its way down from the flybridge / front screen to this location As front screen and bridge have a weather cover

We have owned a P360 for over 20 years and never had water in the side cabin.

It is the lowest floor in the boat and just above the holding tank / waste Seacocks , I would first lift the galley floor inspection hatch to check hose / Seacocks any evidence of water / sewage in there.
There is also a hatch just stern of the front cabin door , we have at least 3 x Seacocks in there which also need checking

We have been really happy with our P360 , some of the early ones are under powered

Have a careful look at .the deck, joints and GRP above where the leak appears.
We had a similar issue on a 435 and were amazed to discover the ingress was through some hairline cracks.
Water was travelling down between the hull and the lining.
Capt Tolley solved the problem.
