Welcome to the group.  This is a great place to get information.  Anything you experience, somebody has dealt with it before, usually multiple people

Subject: [C320-list] Hi all - question about water in the bilge

Hi there,

I am not sure if this is going out and to whom, but I thought I would give it a go.  I am a member of the 320 association.

We recently purchased a ’94 C320, hull number 118, and after a lot of updating to the Perkins diesel, batteries and many other things, we are ready to sail here in the SF Bay!

The current annoying issue is water in the bilge that seems to be coming from the area under the sole immediately behind the section of the bilge with the pump.  I’ve removed the sole (the dining table included) piece that reveals that section of the bilge.  I can post a picture but there’s a hole that leads to the pump area.  The water seems to be seawater but I can not figure where it’s coming from.  We recently replaced the dripless and had all the thru-hulls checked at a recent haul out.

I’ve vacuumed out all the water but it returns.

If this is the right place to send questions, I’m sure I will have others.  We are really excited to get going and love the boat so far.

Thank you!

—David
