[Rhodes22-list] Green goop with leaks

Tue Sep 15 16:57:33 EDT 2015

I do not have a bilge pump however my boat is a newish 2008.  My feeling is that if the boat needs a bilge pump then something is not right and needs to be dealt with.  I believe in being in good standing with GB and rely on GB for helping me and am glad to hear that Stan is standing good.

Stan,

I see you are still as feisty as ever...love it.

Thanks for the education on the warranty. This is my first boat, so everything is new to me. For the record, my bilge is bone dry;)

The answer to your question is, both-- sailing heeled over and raining.

I think I need to rebed the bow railing first and check for leaks, then troubleshoot the deck to hull joint second. 

Thanks for weighing in, Stan. I appreciate it and am thankful you still have time for us on "da List".

Cheers,
Ted
