Leaking in aft lazzerette
We have a 2002 passage 456 and we too have been accumulating salt water in aft lazerttes, looked to several places for the leak, pretty sure now is coming from the joint where the engine exhaust hose attaches to the tube to expel the exhaust water. I tried tightining the hose clamps, no go, then tried epoxying around the joint, nope, so I think I must have a small tear in the hose somewhere prior to the hose clamps. I pur paper towels all over the area and only ones come back wet are those around the hose clamp area of exhaust. For now have installed a bilge pump to evacuate the water and will work on replacing the exhaust hose at lay up. Just recently also noticed water under engine in the sump, traced it to a small tear in exhaust hose attached at mixing elbow, had to replace the hose from muffler to mixing elbow, 28 bucks a foot and it took 4 feet. So I think I'm on the right track regarding the aft leak.
