I have a 1977 SRV 240 weekender. My problem is its on land storage - after the heavy rain we had my front cabin floor had one foot of water in it.The trailer ( boat ) is raised so that any water that leaked into the deck ( full canvas cover ) would run back ( aft ) so I am pretty sure it did not run down the steps = I checked the hatch cover its watertight - I wonder If I have the same problem as I have a auto anchor - I will look into that next time -- any thoughts ?
Had an issue with my 300 WE this weekend. I got to the marina on Saturday morning, and washed the boat. I washed the boat before opening it up or boarding so I could leave my canvas up. When I finished washing, I opened her up. Then I went into the cabin, and the cabin floor was wet. I have a plastic runner that covers the carpet, and it was only wet underneath. So, the water must have been coming in from below. Cabin did not smell bad, and the water seemed like fresh water, not lake water. After hours of investigation, i think I figured the problem. My anchor locker drains were clogged and the anchor locker was filling and flowing into the compartment under the v bunk. The middle compartment under the v bunk had about 6" of water. There a hole in that compartment that appears to lead to the center bilge, under the solon carpet. It seems to me, that this water would run to the forward bilge under the cabin stairs, but it seemed the water did not, and had no place to go but up thru the solon floor and soak the carpet. When I used the wet/dry vac to suck up the carpet, the water was clean and sudsy, so thus confirming my theory on where the water came from.
My question is: how come the water that ran into the center bilge never made it to a bigle pump? Anyone else had similar problems?
