[Rhodes22-list] Bilge Hose

[Bud]

Rob,
  I seem to get a lot of rain water in the bilge.   No rain means a dry 
bilge, lots of rain means a gallon or more of water.
I haven't figured out where the rain is getting in, as there are no 
puddles or water stains in the cabin.  So for convenience,
I would prefer to flip a switch - than swab with a sponge.
