Pat,
I have an outboard so can not speak to the packing gland but my 76 has
had very little water in the bilge since I reseated all of my windows. A
driving rain will leave a cup or two and I assume that comes from the
companion way.

Subject: catalina27-talk: Bilge water
This is my 5th season with my 1978 C27. I do not have an electric bilge
pump. I have the original manual pump in the side of the Port lazarette.
For 28 years the PO and myself , each time we go aboard, would give the
pump 3 or 4 pumps and empty the bilge. Most time NO water. This year,
since launch 5 weeks ago, I have to pump it 10 plus times ?? We have had
rainy days but ?
My question-- how does water enter the bilge? Packing box or ?
