[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: water in the bilge

[Cary Tolbert]

FYI ...... Follow up. Water in the bilge.
The information I received from  a Catboat owner at the local marina seems
to have relieved the problem.
By lowering the centerboard it seems to have stopped the water entry, at
least while parked at the slip. Released the centerboard Saturday and as of
Wednesday the bilge was very dry.
