[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: water in the bilge

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

I know this is going to sound bad to some people, but is it salt water or  
fresh water? Assuming you are in a salt water area.

Cary,
I saw your boat in the water last night.  Looks good!  Congratulations!

Pump all the water out and even sponge out any  remaining and see if it 
comes back.  Did you have any water in it when  you launched?  I had some rain 
water in mine that took a while to works  it's way out.

Typical areas to look for with no weather events are  around the 
centerboard cap and around the cockpit drain hose.  Take a  look in the laz and see if 
any water is there or if it's leaking abound the  hose. Any other below the 
waterline through hulls on your boat? Check those  too. - rob

First time!

Just put my  86 in the water on Sunday. Thursday I noticed water in the
bilge ( about 2  inches). I checked the pump and yes it does work.
Haven't moved the boat  from the slip and have not had any heavy weather.
So my question to you  experienced Rhodies is: where should I check to see
where the water is  entering the boat.
The water tank is empty as I emptied it when I first  purchased the boat and
also replaced the OLD lines both to and from the  tank, but have not
refilled it yet.
The laz. is dry.
Any thought or  experiences?

Thanks
