[C320-list] Water in bilge and keel bolts

[McCullough, Kirk]

I drilled a couple of weeping holes in the aft bulkhead along the bottom
edge of the steering cover, at a angle to ensure any water collecting
there would drain through the bulkhead and into the aft locker. Water
getting into the hanging cover in aft cabin comes from the pedestal
area. A leak around the base of the pedestal for example would end up in
the cover.

The emergency steering access cover can leak, but the water runs
directly into the aft locker through a drain hole. Remove the cover and
pour in some water and watch where it goes. 

Both have happened to me but they are easy fixes.

Quentin-----it may be that you have some leakage through the emergency
tiller access in the cockpit floor. If any of the screws are loose in
the large hanging cover on the "ceiling" of the aft cabin  it then leaks
thru onto the bedding below---it happened to me
