[Rhodes22-list] Water in the Cabin

[Reuben Mezrich]

This morning a friend called and said my boat was sinking...When I got to
the boat there was about a foot of water in the cabin (it was up to the
bottom of the cushions) and the boat was hanging from its lines (it was a
very low tide)...I borrowed a pump and got most of the water out...checked
the two through hulls for the head and the one in the lazerette and no leak
seen. inspected the top of the centerboard trunk and no evidence of a leak
at any of the visible screws on top (hard to see the two at the
furthest aft). There still appears to be a slow leak. There was also water
in the lazerette but the lazerette seems to be separate from the rest of
the boat and no idea how the water got there...There hasn't been much rain
lately..boat was dry on Monday, which was the last time I checked it...
We're having some storms here in Sarasota and the TowBoatUS guy says we
really can't tow it till Tuesday

Any thoughts on where else to look for leaks. I haven't put any holes in
the boat..haven't gone aground
Its a puzzle
