Found 2 gallons of water in my v berth the other day. Trying to pinpoint:
Questions:
- Did not have this last season
- it does freeze here for several months
- We have had some torrential rain this year
- We had 8 people at the table a few weeks ago
- our water ballast tower is always full to the brim/ almost overflowing
- We already repaired the underwater transom before it started leaking
- We recently re sealed the thru hull sensors with 4200
- the cabin floor, and bilge, and rear are all bone dry
- we are fresh water so can't test for salt vs fresh
- The compression pole (under the mast) tower looks dry and has a lot of sealant on it.
- We have a portable toilet, not a head
- There is no fresh water tank up front, and we do not use water on the boat anyways.
Questions:
- How the heck do you replace the thru hulls for the anchor locker with that plastic liner inside the cabin? Are they the standard 3/4 plastic 90 degree ones?
- If your ballast drain and air vent plug are not perfectly tight, will you conceivably take on water with too much weight? our transom is always 2" under water even without anyone on the boat with a heavy honda 9.9 outboard and 2 large batteries in the back.
- Where else should i look for a leak?
