[Rhodes22-list] Lazarett Leakage Mystery

[daniel snyder]

Rory, yes I also experience some water in the lazarett.  Nothing more than a 
few spongefuls.  My boat is a 2006 model and you'd think the seal around the 
laz lid would be water tight but I have always felt that this is where the 
problem stems from.  My boat sits on a mooring and after a soaking rain I'll 
find this bit of water in there.  If I'm washing down the boat and throw a 
couple of buckets of rinse water onto the pop top lid I'll get a some 
leakage into the cabin...although very little.  I've never had more than a 
spongeful or two in the bilge and usually it is bone dry.  Dan
