The ports and companionway are not the source of this particular
leak. I've had over a week with no rain or appreciable dew. Same
amount of water is still accumulates in the bilge each day. So I'm
convinced it has to be something below the waterline. I can live
with it for now, it's not a lot of water. I'll just need to keep
things ventilated and replace the float switch in the bilge so I
don't have to keep checking it daily.
Cheers!
