Re: Water in center of bilge and starboard
As far aft as the bilge goes on starboard side. Point well taken on the color of the lake water. I don't have any scientific evidence, but took it as evidence from other local boaters, including the previous owner. He is evenly surprised on the water inside bilge and equally confused by it. And oh good gosh, please don't tell me I have more than one leak. LOL. Regardless, I'm very OCD and the water isn't supposed to be there so I'm determined to find the source. LOL. Just would be nicer in warmer weather versus the current 25 degrees!!!

Where (specifically) are you seeing the water on the Starboard "shelf"? Also, how have you determined the bilge water is not lake water? Our lake does not have clear water at all. When I got lake water in my bilge, it appeared clear with no odor and there was really no way to tell the difference short of testing it for the presence of chlorine.
I troubleshot and fixed leaks from about 5 different sources for the first year I had my boat. These were leaks that might drip one drop every 20 minutes but I was determined to have a dry bilge. It takes a lot of patience, work and big time process of elimination, but it can be done.
