[Rhodes22-list] Jerry's leak

[Kroposki]

Jerry,
	There have been more discussions of leaks on this list.  Let us
start with the question is the boat level?  A tilt with bow up causes
one kind of leak and a tilt with stern up causes a second kind of leak.
Tell us whether the boat is level.
	Then are the seat drains cleaned out?

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.
