[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: water in the bilge

[Lowe, Rob]

Cary,
I saw your boat in the water last night.  Looks good! Congratulations!

Pump all the water out and even sponge out any remaining and see if it comes back.  Did you have any water in it when you launched?  I had some rain water in mine that took a while to works it's way out.

Typical areas to look for with no weather events are around the centerboard cap and around the cockpit drain hose.  Take a look in the laz and see if any water is there or if it's leaking abound the hose. Any other below the waterline through hulls on your boat? Check those too. - rob

First time!

Just put my 86 in the water on Sunday. Thursday I noticed water in the
bilge ( about 2 inches). I checked the pump and yes it does work.
Haven't moved the boat from the slip and have not had any heavy weather.
So my question to you experienced Rhodies is: where should I check to see
where the water is entering the boat.
The water tank is empty as I emptied it when I first purchased the boat and
also replaced the OLD lines both to and from the tank, but have not
refilled it yet.
 The laz. is dry.
Any thought or experiences?

Thanks
