Default Wet cabin

I have a 06 32 mcob. we got caught in the rain last weekend water comes in from the pop up cleates, the flip up sky light and the open bow.. This is not the first time this has happened.. most of the water comes from the bow so I am looking to get a cover for it.. Does advantage have them or should I just get one made(being in pa there are not alot of shops that do that kind of work).. I guess I will pull the sky light and seal it ..

I don't have a MCOB, but I had a local canvas shop (awning) make my snap on cockpit cover. I would think you should be able to find someone who could make the snap cover. Being in Arkansas, I bet here there are alot less options than you have.

I have had snap covers made for both of my Advantge MCOB's and they are great. I doubt if Advantage has them, but give Bob@Advantage a call or E-mail and he will let you know for sure.

Your going to find alot of the water is coming from below the open bow insert. the water runs down and goes under the pad. The cover will have to have a runner that covers the indention on the deck and keeps the water out of it.

Advantage has had more than a few complaints about water in the mid cabin and the resulting stink. But once as they told me, we build them in the desert, didn't really think about a rain storm. Seal the base of the skylight will help some but it will still leak. My cure was a sunbrella material type cover that goes around the skylight. break the cover just over the bow and sklight so water runs right off. I do have a stainless pole in the bow are to hold the cover up. Dry cabin ever since. Also have it made so the snaps are set correctly
