Asked this in another thread but thought it might be better on it's own:
On my 30+ there are three small bilge compartments in the cabin sole. The one in the middle has a bilge pump in it, but because of the small space it doesn't sit all the way at the bottom, so there is always about 1" of water in there. There is a hole at the bottom of the forward wall of that bilge that appears to be the outlet of a tube that runs through the next bilge compartment (forward) and then continues somewhere else. Even after siphoning out all the water in the middle bilge there is still water seeping in through that hole/tube. (By the time I got all the water out, I had about 1 1/2 gallons!) Any idea where it might be coming from and where that mysterious tube terminates? It's salt water, so it must be coming from outside.
