[Rhodes22-list] Water in bilge

[Bob and Kathy Quinn]

On the leak, check the drain hose from the sink to be sure that there are no 
splits in the hose.  The splits can be very difficult to see but when we had a 
similar problem on our '86, that was the culprit.   Whenever we were heeled to 
the starboard, we were sucking in water.   On a good run, we could fill the 
bilge pretty quickly.  


The loop in the bilge pump hose going above the water line is also something you 
want to have.

Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Water in bilge from line w/o check valve?


My boat came with two thru hulls. One is for the sink and the other is for
the bilge. The bilge line doesn't have a check valve and I suspect I am
getting water in from it.  Burt's idea is to add a loop in the line and
extend it higher. That is a good idea, I will look into fittings and tubing
(and check valves) at Lowes.



Greg,
What thru hull are you talking about? The sink? We don't have a bilge 
pump so I'm only guessing.. If you feel the bilge pump is necessary, 
can you route it into the sink?

Best,
