Indeed it still does.  However, I keep a manual bilge pump in the 
lazz and just pump out any water after a hard rain.  There's never 
more than about a gallon down there and takes 30 seconds to pump 
out.  FYI, the main cause of that leak is rain water overflowing the 
seat drain channels.  The drain fittings are too small for heavy 
accumulations and are easily clogged with leaves, mayflies, pine needles, etc.

P.S. The lazz on my boat is not connected to the bilge in any way.

Cheers!
