Any chance there is a crack in a cockpit drain hose and under motor when the 
boat says a bit it is forcing water through the hose Crack? Rain water and such 
would likely flow straight through without significant or any leakage.
Just a thought and easier than removing and retourquing keel bolts.

Subject: Stus-List Water Ingress ?? 

When tabasco (c&c25 with an outboard) is on the dock, there is absolutely no 
water coming in. When I am out, even motoring, I get some water in, maybe 2 
quarts an hour, even in calm seas.

I am in the process of replacing some rusty keel washers, but the nuts seem to 
be tight and I have no "smile".
I have a hard time believing that so much water is seeping through the keel 
bolts.

Does anybody have any other logical explanation besides pressure created on the 
leading edge of the keel  ? I have no stuffing box.
