Thanks for all the suggestions. Well, i did the dry out/splash/look routine and I have id'd 2 sources so far. One is the main drain plug, or "garboard drain", the sealant around the fitting was done very poorly (yeah, i know, that's what u get w/a production boat). The second place is the drain for the "dry" storage (dry it ain't, but that's a whole 'nuther issue) area in the floor in the bow. It is piped to drain to the bilge but the sealant around the pipe was, once again, done very poorly so that any rain/wash/sea water hitting the deck and going into the storage bin could leak some around the drainpipe into the hull . So, gonna dry it out again, seal-up those 2 places, and look again to make sure the thru hole isn't leaking also. Considering how sorry a sealing job was done everywhere else, i will be re-sealing the thru hole anyway, just hoping to be able to wait for a little cooler weather cause it's very hard to get to, i only have a 6" pie hole opening to access it.
