water inside hull
a question for anybody in the know. I have a 1974 full transom 23 footer.I've noticed that after a good rain water collects between the outer hull and the first step in the full inside the boat, under the deck. Is there a leak in the scuppers at the corner of the transom and the deck?
Does anyone understand what I'm talking about?

Re: water inside hull
Peter, are you saying that water collects against the outside stringer? If thats the problem than you must have had the drain tube glassed over in a repair or that drain may be clogged. Each stringer should have a drain a couple inches forward of the transom to get that water down to your bilge pump [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: water inside hull
Taste the water. I bet it's fresh water, either from rain or a washdown. Mine gets water there from the (4) side vents located on either side of the hull. The water 'should' drain into the bilge, via a hose through the stringer, for that exact purpose. However, those hoses can and will get clogged very easily, especially with the older hull - not letting the water drain into the bilge and therefore collect. On my boat, I keep (2) large sponges in that area anyway ( I have an i/o, and this small amount of fresh water goes thru the drain hose well, but gets 'pooled' near the motor beds - just a little - I did not want to cut a hole through the motor bed just to drain a little water ! ) The sponges are almost always bone dry, but sometimes there is some water there. No biggie.
