I'm going to pump out the lazarette this afternoon with a hand 
pump.  Poking around in there yesterday I didn't see anything obvious 
connecting them.  But there was one fitting right under the center of 
the cockpit that I couldn't figure out where it went.  It may have 
some leaves and crud trapped in it and if it's connected thru it may 
be filtering water in slowly.  Time and more water removal will tell.

Cheers!
