[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Cap Seal Help

[Dennis McNeely]

I've had the same problem with water backing up at the rear seat drains and
flooding the lazerette, Rummy - even if the drains are clear. Apparently
there's not enough rum stored forward. 

I'm on it.

Bob,
Making the lazerette water tight isn't necessary. When in the water, the
R22 is naturally bow heavy and very little if any water will enter it.

For what  it's worth, my new-to-me '84 was uncovered (on the hard) in a rain
storm.....port & stbd cockpit drains were clogged and aft seating flooded
the Laz....water came into soak carpet inside the companion way.
I checked  out the connection between hull & cockpit (all was good).
I then  unclogged the port & stbd cockpit drains.
Trailered the R22 up a 10%  incline...let gravity drain to Laz....& bailed
till dry.
I apparently  need to repair the water tight integrity of my laz. (& keep
cockpit drains  unclogged!!) Hope this helps, Bob
