Let me start: This last summer, during a race, while on starboard tack, we noticed water in the port quarter berth! Not a lot of water, but water! (it's suppose to be outside the hull, not inside ) So we start looking for the source... couldn't find it right away, but had an idea. (we were busy with the race!) So the boat was pulled last month to get the bottom soda blasted, 10+ years of bottom paint.. So today we tackled the issue; found the leak in the port scupper drain hose where it "T"'s with the starboard hose. The sealant that Ericson used when they attached the hoses, dried out. Easy fix (We also decided to tackle all of the hose fittings to avoid the issue in the future).
What is strange is the routing of the drain hose for the outboard scuppers in the cockpit - it exits the boat by the galley!!! The ones inboard, by the pedestal, drain out the between the waterline and the transom.
very strange... i'm sure that there is a reason, but i can't think of it at the moment...
