Home Port: Chesapeake Bay and coastal mid-atlantic
Vessel Info: 2004 5200 Sovran Salon, with twin 800 HP CAT 3406E's
I have a 2004 52 Sovran Salon. I am trying to identify a possible leak that may be coming from the aft keel area. Is the keel solid and can it support blocking on the hard? Tiara was little help however said that the keel can support 80-90% of the weight. I also received conflicting information from others in the past. Should I avoid blocking the last 1 1/2 feet of the aft keel? Thanks everyone.

I have a 2004 5200 Sovran as well. The most likely source is the caulk seam between the swim platform and the transom of the boat. Recaulking was a major spring problem as I had a significant amount of water aft last year. Now almost nothing

I have 2005 Tiara 52 Sovran, and sunroof leaks when washdowns or rain.
Any advice on how to fix, etc?
