Having just been to boat and spotted a few drops of water in the bilge.Was instantly obliged to remove it. Selecting from my extensive collection of sponges,my extra dainty mini sponge kept for such jobs was whipped out and the job was done.

Water in CI's bilge proved to be...
1) Leaking transom shield. Fixed it.
2) Leaking water pump. Replaced it
3) Leaking blanking stopper. Replaced it.

Then...even with the damn thing out of the water it still collected a little water in the bilge. So...
4) Found S/S pulpit rail screw missing. Rain water dribbling in and working its way down drainage channels. Fixed the bastard. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Now CI behaves like its a boat, not a bath tub!
