Andy, Many thanks for that will check that out which sounds a simpler explanation than a bust water tank. Cheers Morgan

Hi Morgan Not sure if it would apply to the 24 but the Fishing 17 and Navigator (and maybe Pilot?) accumulate fresh water in the bilges as water gets in behind the rubber gunwhale fender and seeps in between the deck and hull molding. The sealer Hardy fits breaks down over time. On these boats the rubber fender goes over the join between the 2 mouldings. Cheers, Andy

I have had great difficulty keeping water from accumulating in the storage area behind the wheelhouse. Originally the pipe through to under the compartments was sealed on delivery but I opened this up and now use a plug to allow any water to pass. The water is fresh I cannot find any access points for rain water and am starting to think the fresh water tank must be leaking. Anyone with similar experience ?
