[C320-list] Leak in bilge

[Bruce Heyman]

Can be tightened in the water.  The Association has the equipment you need  
to do this job.  I thought the manual said to tighten them after the first  
year and then you were done forever.

Hey, I am having a slow leak in the bilge right by the bilge pump.  No  
collections of water fore or aft of this location.  Can water leak down from  
top of mast?  Can water leak from the keel bolts?  Also there is a floor  
joist crossing at that location but I can find no evidence of leaks from  
ports.  I don't think keel bolts were ever re- tightened and the boat has  
never been out of the water since original launch.  Can the bolts be  
tightened in the water or does the boat have to be on the hard?
