[Rhodes22-list] (no subject)

[MJPTV1 at aol.com]

Hi.  I am new to this list.  With a problem.  I have owned a Rhodes 22 for 
six years, it is a 1986 boat,  and I keeping getting about two inches of water 
in the bilge.  I pick up the wooden floor panel and pump it out but it comes in 
again.  Where is it coming from?  Also, I noticed just the other day that 
when I sail and heel over  more water is somehow getting in to the bilge, even a 
few millimeters above the floor. Again, any ideas where the water is coming 
from?  Is it possibly coming in on the toilet out line, which is at the water 
level.  Finally, does it matter if I have water in the bilge as long as it 
doesn't overflow.  The wooden floor sometimes gets damp. Can it rot?  Sorry there 
are so many questions.  I love the boat, but would appreciate any advice.
