Thanks. Did you mean forward end of lazarette locker between lazarette and engine bay?

That’s a very good point and it is difficult to actually see the water coming in. It could be where the gland clamps on the stern tube. Regardless though it’s the water tracking forward that’s the issue and driving me nuts . It should be able to cope with some ingress. I just want a Dry boat in...

Thanks for the response. The water that collects is dock water so I’m not worried about the calorifier and we just changed the rudder stock gland ( which took some doing!) at the same time as the stern gland.

Thanks. The drip seems to from around the gland. There is no feed pipe. In the photo you can see the gland and the discoloured area where I think it’s dripping from. Also in the other photo you see the bilge well and bilge hole going forward

Just fitted new Volvo stern gland. After burping the water stops. But there is a slight drip from the hull around the front end of the gland. Presumably the stern tube itself. It’s manageable if it collected in the lazarette bilge under the shaft and did not disappear and collect forward. I’m...

It seems to be the way it’s designed. Unless other MF805 owners tell me different. Even without anchor chain and me on the end of the swim platform (110kg) she‘s just about even keel It would take a lot of sand bag ballast to get her to sit right for the bilge arrangement.

Does anyone else have this problem. Any small leak from the stern gland area makes its way through the bilge hole under shaft into a bilge tunnel running the length of the boat. As the boat lies down by the head, it collects forward and appears through two holes at the top of the bilge tunnel...

I have one on mine but to be honest they are not very good. They are not dry inside with holes on top and drain holes below. I would lay one up yourself over a marine ply box and fit proper weathertight hatches. I’ve adapted mine now with proper hatch lids. I’ll try to upload a photo.

I have the same problem and it’s driving me nuts. Water collects, sun hits it and algae forms. I am about to take the nuclear option of drilling through the port side deck and side shell and fitting a drain It will be hard to get it flush but I’ll do my best. I’ve thought of water bag ballast...
