Has anyone experienced a leak on starboard side aft of the pivot point but foward of the through hull for the keel cable? I get about three gallons per week out of the bildge on cabin floor where the boards can be removed. Two sections of the bildge I can't see due to the fiberglass floor.

Do you have any other thru-hulls in that area, like for a speed or depth sounder transducer? It's also possible that the keel trunk is cracked somewhere from an incident in the boat's past ownership involving a hard impact of the keel due to a cable failure or grounding.

cool site, huh? Still getting water, I thought it was under control? I fixed (I hope) a leak in the pipe that drains the anchor locker that was running into my V-berth.
