Thanks again to all who contributed. Here is what I found after 24 hours on the water. The bilges had about 1 inch of water in the deepest part. I did not completely dry the bilges the previos afternoon (Sunday). I am thinking it is taking on a little water while the boat is on the mooring but unless i complete dry them I won't be sure. The cockpit drain hoses are brand new and not leaking a drop. The area they are in is bone dry. The companionway is not leaking at all and we haven't had any rain and i haven't been able to hose down the boat. I don't doubt the rubrail needs to be rebedded. The seal looks pretty worn all the way around and I need to pull it and reseal. The leak in the forward storage compartment (under v berth) was caused by no sealant in the anchor locker drain hole. The hull and deck liner are supposed to be sandwiched together there. I cleaned the crud out of the space between them and sealed with 5200 and that is now bone dry. I haven't tried to tighten the keel bolts, yet. That is the next focus. I think that might have some effect but it will probably need to reseal those in the future. How many keel bolts are there? I see one under a 5" Beckson port on the cabin sole. One under the table and one is, I think, covered by the compression post. Am I missing any? Until I get this solved, does anyone have any expirience with float switches for bilge pumps? I may sound a little too worried but there are times I can't get to the boat to check things out and I'd like a little piece of mind. Maybe nothing but an annoyance but there is alot of sweat equity involved and I'm just trying to to stay on top of it. Again Thanks for all the comments. Jim PS. I sailed her for the first time and what a sweet ride!
