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.
