My propane tank compartment keeps filling with rain water. Why doesn't the supplied drain carry the water away the way it's supposed to? Also my 250WB has aa heavy list to starboard when sitting still. I have put about 160 lbs. of extra ballast on the port side of the fresh water tank, but it didn't help much. Any ideas why? I don't have anything unusual on the starboard side, other than galley and outboard. Roger

Roger,
You may want to move this from the swap meet to the C-250 forum.

I hate to ask an obvious question, but is your ballast tank full? If not it could explain the list to starboard. If I remember correctly, the propane tank is on the starboard side as well, and if your list is pronounced enough, the drain may not be pointing down enough for the water to drain. I don't have a propane locker on my WK, and I'm not familiar enough about the WB to help you figure out if your ballast tank is full as it's supposed to be, but other folks who are will chime in soon.
