[C320-list] Dry or Wet Bilge Pump Sump Area

[David Detrick]

This may be an old question addressed before—but is it ok to have some
moisture (and maybe a ½ inch or so of water) in the bilge pump sump area? I
am in San Diego (very dry with no humidity) with a 2004 model C320. I leave
the fridge on 24/7, and sail 2 or 3 times per month, using the engine for
about 2 hours each time out (packing gland drips a drop every 8 seconds).  

 

Will constant moisture and water mentioned above, be detrimental to my boat
in any way? Will mop it dry after use if necessary.

 

Thanks.
