[C320-list] Water where it should not be

[Jeffrey Hare]

ALLEN!!  

Thanks for that bit of info!  I've had water dripping into that compartment
from time to time since I bought it and couldn't figure out what might be
causing it.  Since our boats were done at the roughly the same time, that's
almost certainly the problem.

I'll rebed that fitting over the winter...

Thanks!

I once had about 6-inches of water in the starboard side, small locker in
the v-berth after a good rain.  Turns out no caulk (as in absolutely none,
no way, no how) was used around the deck opening for the forward water tank.
Once sealed, all OK.

I also found water there after sailing hard over in big waves as well as in
the port storage compartment next to the drawers in the vee-berth.  In the
storage area in the aft cabin under the little seat I noticed a small
opening up high towards the forward side.  I checked the bottom of the
hanging locker next to it and it was dry.  So I'm thinking of using
fibreglass the seal this hole as I think it allows bilge water to enter when
hard over.  It has rained and no water in these compartments so I know it's
not leaking in from the top and my bilge pump only comes on after I've run
the engine for a while (stuffing box should leak a little then) so I know
it's not a leak through the hull and filling my water tanks have not impact
either.  Just some glass work that should have been finished  properly in my
mind.

Water where is should not be:

I have recently found water in the storage compartment located in the aft
cabin next to the hanging locker. This compartment is under the small seat
between the hanging locker and the bunk. Any idea where the water is coming
from
or what drain might be clogged that is keeping normal water from the packing
gland from reaching the bilge.

Thanks
