Water accumulating in v berth storage locker

[cobb529]

Water is accumulating in v berth storage locker. I bailed it out & it doesn't fill up while just sitting in water but does while moving. Seems it could be related to anchor locker but I have no way to access it thru the small opening. Glastron gs 279

Reseal your bow eye

There should be a drain hole at the bottom of the locker. Check to see if it is blocked.

Best to keep this stuff in the open forum so the next guy can search and be helped by it.

yup you were right! I took cruiser out on lake & watched it leak in thru bolts of bow eye into locker v berth. is there a way to fix it temporarily while on water until I can take it out for winter? thanks for the help!! good news is it only leaks when moving/hitting chop.

My reply: Eh, fix it permanently while still in the water.

Beach it and remove the bow eye... Clean well and reseal with 3m 4200 or 5200 and tighten it down.
