Check your jib track screws too. I used simple green to clean up till I got around to the project this year. Mine seeped brown stuff via the bolts and nuts inside, dripped along the shelf, behind the cushions, to inside my lockers. Finally got around to backing the screws out this year, resealed and it seems to have stopped. I'm still leaking somewhere, but at least I'm down a little bit.

I had window leakage and the cleanup was pretty easy - I used either Simple Green or a citrus cleaner - but the prevention is another matter. You will want to figure out where this is coming from, because it indicates water intrusion to the plywood in the core.

In the cabin behind my cushions on both sides there appears to be a molasses color residue which has leaked down along the inside of the hull. If I remember correctly someone said this is from the sealent or epoxy or something from the topsides - hull attachment. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to use to clean it up?

After sealing and resealing everything imaginable I found my leak under the aft lip of the anchor locker. This area was not sealed and water migrated from this area on the starboard side back to the low spot where cabin meets hull . Was a problem for many years. Sealed it up and no problems since.
