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

[Rick]

Rummy,

I had cabin condensation in the spring, too, before installing a solar
driven fan.  But inches of water in the bilge from condensation seems
extreme.  Plus, I get water when I sail.  I figure wind rocking the boat
forces water through the trunk cap seal.
