I don't know how similar the 37/40+ is to the 35mk3 but I am in process of addressing similar leaks.
Taking off the hood was fairly straightforward - but did involve removing the traveller track. I also found that the aft end "stop" was loose - at one time - probably not original bedded with silicon. On the 35 this stop cannot be eliminated as it also prevents water from making its way under the sliding hatch - and supposed to direct the water through two limber holes to the channels each side. In my case the starboard side limber hole was completely blocked! I removed the stop (required removing teak bungs to access the wood screws) cleaned off the silicon and rebedded the stop liberally with life caulk. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT > On May 14, 2017, at 21:40, Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Hello all, > > On our 37/40+, I think one of the leaks into the interior of the boat is > coming from the stop for the companionway hatch.
