A quick addition. you could use a few CUPS of water each different colors and pour them down one at a time the supposed routes the water is taking into your hatch.
So for example pour one cup down the hatch track and wait to see if any residual dye is left on the hatch where the leak is, as that would tell you with out a doubt that the leak IS coming from the hatch track. Other wise pour another cup down where the hatch slides into the hole, and repeat. If you dont find dye in the hatch after testing the spots around the hatch where you TTHINK the water is coming from then you will know the leak is else where and the water is traveling. At that point, splitting the entire boat up into parts and doing the same thing would prbably be easiest.
It seems better than waiting 2 years to find the source of a leak =/
