Leak in H260

[BillP.]

While I'm sure I have the "normal" leak at the hatch, I am finding water on a regular basis in the bilge of my H260 (under the aft bunk. I keep the boat in the water and upon giving the water the old "taste test" I find it to be salty. Anyone have any advice as the to best places to look - nothing obvious so far. Happy new year and fair winds to all!Bill Potter

I had the same problem with water under the aft bunk and quarter berths. Crazy Dave lead me to look under the compression post, remove the wood cover over the keel locker, under the table and see if it is wet down there, mine was. I dried it out real good and repacked it with marine sealent. I've had no more water under the quarter berths or back aft, and that has made me one happy camper. Thanks Dave
