That’s another possibility Ian. Although it seemed dry around the washboards and step after the last downpour. I will douse the top hatch with a hose and check again 
  Cheers

Giving up as  it’s still filling with rain water so simple solution is throwing a tarp over the boat.
Thanks for your input and I will post here if I discover the leak.

Re: Rain water in bilge mystery
I have just logged in after many months absence.  I saw your post.  I had the same annoying problem and it turned out to be the aft port locker floor had small cracks on the floor allowing rain water to drain into the bilge.  A few litres  of water dyed with a few grains of Condies crystals  will soon tell you if it is the culprit.  Mine was easily fixed. 
Good luck, Bobbo.

Re: Rain water in bilge mystery
I’ll take the tarp off and give that a go. Expecting  rain next week.
Thanks Bobbo.
