I have discovered that when it rains I have water come into the main cabin.Is there a cover that it sold to button up the cabin when not in use?

well stated , i have a wing keel, 200lbs as far fwd. as can go. this puts the boat back on its water
line when its sitting at the dock, [ well sort of ] with no one on board. And when sailing, relieves
most of the weather helm. also, keeps the water out.
Bow up, bow down, problems . 200lb in the fwd of the boat, no problems.

The design is very sensitive to the boat's attitude. If the bow is up too high, water will leak in through the front berth hatch. If the bow is too low, water will leak in through the companionway hatch. The slope difference of the two is very small, so the boat needs to float on her lines (or rest on the trailer) almost perfectly level.

Wind-blown rain can also cause problems, and for that a companionway hatch cover can help. But floating on her lines is very important.

The wing keel is known to often float bow-high, requiring ballast under the front berth to bring her on her lines. Otherwise, leakage through the front hatch is almost unavoidable.

Sure, Catalina Direct has companion way covers in different colors.https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by-boat/catalina-250/canvas-covers/companionway-cover-royal-blue-tweed-c-250/
This might help if the water is coming in there. If it's coming in somewhere else then I doubt this would help.
