On our 2006 44 ft sedan bridge we have started to get water in the Center bilge ( bilge under staircase ) A brownish, coloured water is slowly seeping thru the bottom of the lowest part of this bilge compartment, just in front of the float switch. It takes about hour or so to fill enough for the pump to kick on . I have many times completely sopped it all up & dried it thoroughly. There isn’t any odour to this brown water .
The harbour we are in has very clean water. Much clearer than what is oozing in.
Has anyone ever had this problem ? Do I need to strip the hull & install new epipoxy primer & antifoul paint ????
I can’t believe the hull is this porous. There isn’t a scratch on the bottom & since the boat is only in fresh water , new antifoul is only reapplied every 3 years . Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
