Hi all.
I am still obsessing about ingress of rain water (I'm pretty sure that it is rain water though as I'm on a fresh water lake it is hard to be certain).
I have maybe half an inch of water in the bilge. Obviously not a problem but I want to figure out where it is coming from.
I noticed at weekend that there is wetness under the batteries in the battery sub bilge forward of main bilge.
That could be from the locker under starboard saloon berth but I have checked (I think) all possible sources (sink pump etc).
It occurred to me that water draining from chain locker has to go somewhere - is there a conduit running back to the battery bilge?
There seems to be a slot in the forward end of the battery sub bilge like that on the starboard side of the sub bilge??
Suggestions very welcome..
