[Sonar]Fixing a leaky sonar.

[Ernest Brody]

I've always believed that the rainwater comes down the mast.  It may come in
the toe rail; I don't know.  A bead of caulk would be a good start.  I'm
reluctant to remove the toerail.

  I want to fix the leaks in Liberty so that the rain does not fill the
bilge between races (when it rains).  I believe that the toe rail is the
source of most of the water.

  If that is where the water is coming in, does anyone have a proven
technique for fixing that?  The toe rail appears to be held on with
screws--not bolts.  Should I remove the toe rail, caulk and replace it?  Or
should I just add a bead of caulk to the joint on the outside without
removing the toe rail?

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I was planning on fixing it myself.
