Does anyone know if there is a gasket or some kind of caulk around the transom shower fixture? I'm getting water in the bilge on the port side pocket where the hot water heater is. It has happened after rain storms. I purged the water system with only maybe a few drops of water left in the hoses. The boat cover ends right at the assembly and could possible run water right over it. I didn't want to tear it apart until there were some others that may be experiencing the same thing or new more about it.

I had mine off this weekend and it had a small bead of caulk across the top. Be careful if you remove the housing. On mine the door comes loose when you pull the housing back and it ended up in 14' of water under my slip. (A new one is on order) You might also want to look at the cockpit drain channels to make sure that they are not clogged with debris. That might cause some water to get into the bilge.
