So, with no damage evident, the water is either coming through the keel/hull joint, and migrating along the keel bolt up into the space where the putty fills the forward part of the keel stub. (Which is why i say to check the torque...). OR - water, When it does get into the sump (rain, whatever) migrates into the filled forward section via the screw holes where the bilge pump hose clamps are secured. It then seeps back out those holes later, back into the now-dry bilge. Correct? (Mine was doing this, but only a few teaspoons of water would drain. I drilled the plywood barrier to facilitate drainage last fall, and will epoxy the hole before launch. My bilge pump hose will not be secured this way in future. Did a bunch of work last fall in this area:
