I am having the same problem and have not been able to identifty the
issue. My boat rides about 3" inches bow down and also pools water on
the flybridge. I sealed all of the seams and screwheads on the bridge
and have stop water intrusion in the cabin. If you determine the
nature of the issue please share the information. The issue is very
annoying.
