My O'Day just starting leaking and it appears to be coming from the keel area but it's hard to detect. We've had no rain since the leak started so I believe it may be coming from keel or possibly the cockpit house. I read on a post that someone had a similar problem. Would really like to repair but not sure if it's coming from cb trunk or cockpit hose or neither. Anyone out there could give more insight into this mystery and a possible fix.

Check the cockpit self bailing hose and also the hose at the end of the centerboard pendant line pipe in the cabin under the sole plate. Also, check the lower gudgion on the transom. Don't get stuck in the lazarett opening. That opening is very small. Have someone standing by to help you in case you get stuck in that opening and can't get out. Been there, done that.
JD,
I had a leak in the CB trunk at the brass plates that hold the center board in. The leak was from the bolts. I filled the bilge with water and looked for a drip. I have another leak from a gouge in the fiberglass that I am planning on glassing today. I just read a post about someone pressurizing the cabin with a vacuum cleaner to look for a leak in the cabin top.
good luck!
