[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Cap Seal Help

[Stephen Staum]

Bingo on the seat drains. They were the problem w my post rain water in bilge. While removing & replacing the battery to charge it, I knocked the port side seat drain hose off of the seat flange. After pulling the boat on Friday, I clamped both seat drain hoses w ss hose clamps. Also replaced the cockpit drain hose which was in rough shape. If I can resurrect the bilge pump I will relaunch next week. 

Thanks to all for advice.
