Bill, The cockpit drains on a C&C 25 drain vertically through the hull via through hulls with sea cocks, not aft through the transom. Some early boats had gate valves which should be changed for sure. If hoses or hose clamps were leaking, you'd see water coming in all the time as the through hulls are always submerged on this boat.

Change the hoses for your cockpit drains. The outlets on the transom dip under water while underway, and old hoses can leak enough to do exactly what you are describing. When you buy new hoses, spend the extra money on fuel rated hose. You never know what might get spilled in the cockpit in the next 15 or 20 years.

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.
