[Rhodes22-list] conjecturing on leakage

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Mike, Joe,

I agree with the possibility on this, Mike.  I asked Joe a few days ago about the ID of the seat level drains.  I sure had my fits with water in the laz after a big storm.  The small hose doesn't cut it - large thru-hulls and ~ 1.5"  hose has worked fine ever since.  The holes are easily enlarged with a Dremel tool.

R,

Art
