water in 1988 searay 268

Should water in the midberth/aft storage compartment drain to the bilge? Do you access the feul tank in this same compartment?

 

[oops!]

Re: water in 1988 searay 268

water should not be any where in the boat......my guess is that the drainage holes to the bilge are blocked.
i suggest to take an electricans fish tape and clear all the water passages to the bilge. when the boat is underway all water should flo freely to the bilge.

as far as accessing the gastank.....im not framiliar with the 26. but my guess is that there is little or no access to the tank.

cheers

I'm certainly going to try the electricans fish tape; if I can determine where the holes are between the bilge and other parts of the boat. Thank you.

From one day to the next, a water mark/line was apparent on the cabin carpet. How do you suppose the water got from holding tank(s) to the floor? Where and how might I look for a leak into the cabin? Thanks.
