[Rhodes22-list] Drain the bilge/ keel.

[Rik Sandberg]

Jerry,

Hold up there. I wouldn't go drilling any holes in my boat over a cup of 
water. Just dry up the water that's there. If it's below freezing outside, 
there isn't going to be any more water running anywhere, including into your 
boat. Maybe you want to cover the boat with a tarp, so when it does warm up 
and rain again your leak won't be an issue. I'm assuming that your leak is a 
rain water leak coming from up on the deck somewhere.
