[Rhodes22-list] 1981 Rhodes 22 Leaks

[John Tonjes]

Ron,
Where is the water coming into the boat? Possibly the centerboard cap is
leaking? This is generally the only place that a R22 will leak,other
than having structural damage.

Hi Rhodes list members,

I am new to this list so forgive any errant protocols.
I have a 1981 Rhodes 22 that has been leaking since I bought it a few
years ago, even though I paid a boatyard to repair the keel & keel trunk
(it was poorly repaired). I suspect that the leaks are still coming from
that area, but have yet to prove it with a drydock water test. I was
hoping that someone in this list could send me their experienced
instructions on how to repair the keel well /trunk /centerboard, and any
cutaway diagrams or blueprints that they may have for the keel & trunk
design. I have still been able to sail it with a small bilge pump, but
would prefer to repair the leaks wherever they may be. 
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards,

Ron B.
