Hi All,
When I walk on my cabin floor in the main salon and in the bathroom, I can hear water sloshing underneath it. I'm referring to under the fiberglass floor basin itself, not the teak plywood (I replaced that already).
I have a small crack (less than dime-size) in the floor under my sink and I was able to suck the water out of it with a shop vac and got several gallons. The water was fresh so boat is definitely leaking from top somewhere. I'm pretty solid on a leak identification process from past posts on this forum, so I'm going to really go through all of that this weekend and re-caulk/seal everything. I also have the canvas companionway cover and have that installed with a cushion underneath.
My question is not about the leak identification process, but instead about dealing with this water that I have.
Ideally, I'd like to install a small inspection port somewhere in the cabin where I can access this area. However, I know that the floor essentially forms the lid of the ballast. Is there anywhere safe to add a port? (floor under the sink?)
Thanks!
