Mysterious Bow Leak

[Paul Housman]

I have a H26 water ballast boat. Noticed this summer that the foreward hold had filled up with water. Not much maybe a gallon or so. Thought maybe the depth transducer or speed gauge had to be removed from the hull and rebedded with fresh sealant. Had to drain the boat for the winter and now the hold is dry as a bone and is staying that way. What gives???

Boat Covered during haulout?

If the boat is covered, then the leak won't occur if it's from the topsides.

Bow Leak

I had a bow leak on my h23 after sailing in choppy waters and found that the eye bolt for the trailer winch was not sealed properly.

Bow Leak

Had an H260 and it leaked from day one. Two places to look, 1) the stancions for the life line, they often work loose. 2) The anchor well drain, thats where ours leaked.

Mysterious Bow Leak

Think I found the leak this weekend. Was in the forward compartment fooling with the water system and draining the coolant out and I noticed that when the water bladder was full a leak developed by the three way connection under the pump. Probably needs new clamps. Thanks for all the help
