Water - on the hard...

[Guest]

My 22 Oday is out for the winter, I have noticed that water builds up in the interior of the boat. The boat never has been wet in the water unless we have been swimming or knocked over a bottle. Could this be massive condensation? If anyone has had this experience please let me know how to stop this be for I need a Lifeguard or scuba gear to do water damage repairs.Aaron

Windows Leaks?

On my 23', my windows leak pretty badly. In a heavy rain and when I wash it, quite a bit of water can run into the cabin onto the cushions and into the floor. Good luck finding your leak!

Water

I am not familiar with the O'Day, but if the boat is not stored level then water may build up in areas which will drain when the boat is level (i.e. in the water) and spill into the cabin via lockers.

water leaks

In order to stop a leak you must first find, it, there is lots of info about this in acrhives, first and easiest is to get inside boat close everything and have some one outside with a water hose, this should show u where water is entering, my boat will get more water in when on the trailer than at the dock, the other method of finding a leak is to use a leaf blower sucker , and soap suds, u basicall insert the blower into some opening hatch etc with a gargage bag and duck tape to make it fairly tight , then turn on and soap up around hatches ports , to avoid plagerism , credit for this one goes to crazy Dave, who has been absent, where is dave, good luck MIke Bacome
