Regarding the C-250 Tech tip about drilling near the aft bulkhead sill to drain water accumulation:

http://www.catalina25-250.org/tech/tech250/dry.html

I tried to drill as the drawing advised, but found there is a fiberglas covered wood stringer (balsa?) where the aft bulkhead is attached. after carefully going as far as I could I still could not observe any light coming from the hole or from the bilge. (NO, I didn't go through the hull! )

Any thoughts on this?

My boat was built in August 2004.

I could not figure this out either.........so I laid down in the aft area during a wicked rain storm last weekend for about an hour and found the leaks and fixed them.
The rear speakers cables coming thru were not completely sealed.
Now,looking back,that was what I should have done in the first place,look for the problem.
