I have a 23’ Pearson sailboat that was built in 1979. The boat was in good shape when I bought it but has a water leak around the retractable keel. The water only comes in when we sail with strong winds. The rougher the ride the more water leaks in. One trip out I looked down inside and the floorboards where floating around. Out came the litter electric pump and it pumped water out faster than it was coming in. I need to find out how to repair this problem and have not found anyone yet that knows anything about this problem. I can be reached at skipwaite@comcast.net if you have knowledge about this issue.
