05/05 - 05/06 - Lopez Is. Opening Week-end

Thanks again to all who answered with ideas and suggestions about C-Cakes cabin water. I think the leak is found and fixed. Stan at EQ found it after I emptied the boat out, (a pain), really dried everything inside and ran headon into the heaviest chop I could find for about 3 hours (not much that day 1-3') Everything stayed dry inside as usual but when C-Cakes was on the trailer in front of EQ there it was... as usual...a little water on the cabin floor. Fortunately with everything so dry we could track it back to the footpump for the freshwater tank. Stan tightened the hose clamp at the base of the pump and voila! no more leak.

next time I'll go out and actually try to run easily instead of trying to figure a way to get water into the boat :) :)

Stan's the man.

So Barry, perhaps the appropriate thing for me to do if I ever find standing water in the cabin of "Sea Shift" is to do the "taste test" to determine if it is "salt" or "fresh" water, thereby narrowing the possibilities...... :disgust ....'er on second thought, find someone else to do the "taste test"... :roll:

P.S. On a serious note, glad you found the problem, thanks for sharing the remedy!
