My 2019 Eyra passenger seat compartment has had a water leak from the first day I owned the boat and was out in the rain or washing the boat. The dealer put sealer on the 2 screws that holds the seat frame to the boat. Still leaks water into the compartment ruining whatever is in the compartment. So I removed everything and placed brown paper in there and poured water around the seat. I checked for leaks and by the pictures of the paper the leak appears to be at each bend of the gasket at the rear of the seat. Further checking the source of the leaks the water leak is at where the gasket fits the cutout contour to the fiberglass like the cut out is slightly larger than the gasket or the gasket is smaller allowing water to leak in under the gasket into the compartment. The drivers side is dry never gets any water in it. Wondering if a new gasket may fix the leak or I would someone have an idea how to properly fix this leak because anything I put in that compartment will get wet and will mildew if I don’t remove the items and dry it out.

Often it is the actual fit to the bench bottoms and they have some space at the top. If you need new gaskets we would be glad to provide those Mr Kistner. We are not sure that will resolve it totally but it’s worth a shot.
I’m not sure whether new gasket will fix the leak either but the leak appears to be between the gasket and the fiberglass. The water would have to be deep to go over the top of the gasket and between the bottom of the seat. There is a ring on the underneath side of the seat where the seat makes contact with the top of the gasket. So the water has just about Gotta be leaking where it contacts the fiberglass, where the gasket slides on to the edge around the cutout itself. I would like to try a new gasket hopefully it will fix the water leak in that compartment.
We would be glad to send it. Contact Service and they will help, let them know the online moderators suggested it.
I had some water entry like that in my caracal, new bubble seals resolved it. I also put a smidge of silicone sealant into that pinch area where the seal bites on.

Did you put the sealant all the way around or just where the leak was occurring?? I hope that I don’t have to use any sealant to stop the leak and the new seal will cure the leak..

I did on the small day box where the corners made a sharp radius. Never did get that box fully sealed up.

I want to thank Bass Cat for their help with a new gasket. You can’t beat the service and especially thanks to Alan for taking care of me and my boat. That’s why I bought a Bass Cat a great boat with great customer service….
I would add silicone under the gasket. This would keep any water protrusion from seeping under it.

I’ll consider your suggestion when I see how tight the fit is with the new gasket as I install it. There’s nothing more frustrating with a compartment that is suppose to be dry and you find items in there ruined by being wet.
