Default Very odd and weird. Need help

Need some help. Ok up front on the bed in the cabin there is leak or something going on. Underneath the front left corner of the bed seems to be moisture or a leak. There is a little cubby hole or storage area. It actually started to rot away some of the fiberglass. I look around and it seems to only be confined to that area. THe boat hasnt been in the water in over a year. WTH?????

if it sits outside it could be leaking from rain getting threw the grab rail mounts.

Had several leak from the bow eye (the sealant drys out and cracks)
if you water test it with the mirror removed look there

Ok i put a hose to it and there is a couple of small drips from the grab handle. But a lot of water comes through the window. Think the window could be the culprit? This makes me sick because all the wood under the bed is gone. I think i can fabricate something and fix it, but I reall want to fix the leak. I am looking for a window seal right now, and plan on taking off the grab rail, front light and bow hook and putting some fresh silicone under it tomorrow. Any more thoughts

My only thing with the window is I dont know how it soaked through the bed and out of the liner which is plastic down into the hold. Its definitely coming form above, its nothing from the hull.

Make sure there isn't a leak of some sorts in your anchor locker. I know of guys that keep their anchor up there and enough pounding might breach the anchor locker, and then the water find its way into your storage space.
