I am trying to troubleshoot and resolve water in my bilge (the boat is relatively new to me). In the forward section of my engine room, I have a bilge pump and switch that are not mounted and do not work. In an attempt to clean up my bilge I found water seeping from these screw holes.
I have been told there is a void in the keel of the boat where water can collect. This boat has had numerous fresh water leaks plus the rudder packings leaked so I can only assume the bilge has always had water in it thus filling this void over the years. Any suggestions on what I should do to address this?
Thanks
Mike
