Okay so I finally got them sized, sorted, synch'd, and served...
My bilge is rather small unlike my images so as John says... size matters...
lol
the first step up from the bilge is where you see the weep hole in the corner.
Next up from that ledge are places where the coating has cracked in places where my water/simple green may have entered a little... but the 4 cups or so that sat in the bilge only had access through the coating via the 2 screw holes where the flap switch goes.
.
I have not had this leak in the last couple of months I've owned the boat so I'm supposing this might be from the cleaning... but maybe it was plugged and I unknowingly removed that plug when I cleaned?
Haven't tasted the leaky fluid yet to see if it tastes like the bay water or not
... or the Simple Green...
.
Another note... the 3 y.o. survey mentions the boat slightly listing to starboard, and it does but I have not measured how much in degrees.
So my brain apparently needed something to glom on to and now I'm wondering if I have a crack in the hull around the keel, which allows water intrusion, which is soaking the hull on the starboard side, creating the listing, leaking out that little hole... making my boat wet, soaked, bottom heavy, feeling bloated and unloved, unattractive.... (is there such a thing as a boat psychologist for this?)
.
My full face mask will arrive today and I'll get my diving hookah setup put together tonight and dive on the boat tomorrow... finally!
I'll have my GoPro w/light down there with me... clean the hull... inspect the bottom and all, so that might tell me more about the integrity of my hull below the waterline.
