[Rhodes22-list] Source of water in bilge?

[Hank]

John,

On my boat, the water from the lazerette drains into the cabin as I remove
water from the cabin, but at a really slow pace.  There should be a
connecting drain hose, that is glassed in, between the two.  So, if you are
draining the water out of the bilge with a bilge pump, it may take awhile
for the water from the lazerette to equalize again, so you may not
immediately notice a drop in the level in the lazerette.  You might want to
re-check and ensure that the water isn't coming from the lazerette.
