[Rhodes22-list] Hull Thickness

[Rick Lange]

Hi Joe,

I hope you view the bilge pump as merely a stop-gap measure until you find
the leak.  Your lazarette should always be bone dry.  If the water is not
coming from a drain hose clog or leak, you have a serious structural
problem.

Regards,

Rick Lange
