[Knot On Call]

Thank you. Do you have the same model? I was able to watch the water come in while underway and standing in the aft bilge area  in the trunk. Most came in directly amid-ships at the ladder area. After removing the extrusion molding, cleaning up the area and cutting out most of the caulk in the seam (probably 20 hours by now) I did find a vertical space that a putty knife can slip into between the top swim platform and hull in to places. Still trying to cut and grind out the remaining caulk. Tiara suggested to use Sikaflex 505 which they are now using and not to take out the securing screws, just recaulk. There are some securing screws that are stripped  most likely because of a wet backer strip. Tiara said to use a larger screw rather that drill another hole and recaulk the old one to re-secure. Big job removing the old extrusion. Had to break off some sections. Be prepared to buy  all new molding as the width is different that the original. The SS finish piece does still fit the newer extrusion thank goodness.
I'm just trying to get an answer about the drain holes. I'm thinking about writing a letter to the Pres. of Tiara asking for some tech help. Brian is good but he said that engineers don't talk to customers with questions as they are busy on the line. They had to build it that wat for a reason. Seems to me there should be a better way.
