My bilge sump has had an inch of water in it for prob 2 years now, just cuz the bilge would not pump it out any lower. But I finally bought a pump that hooks up to a drill, and got the sump dry finally.
after it was dry, some water started comming up thru 3 keel bolt holes. But after 6 hours, its VERY little water. There is just a small trail of water like a ft long.

Could it be that this is not new water, but just old water that was trapped between the keel and boat? And that my hull is still water tight?

How stupid of a design is that? Oh, lets glass this locker off entierly from the rest of the hull. That way when water gets in there, it just goes down the that impossible to get to corner, and stays there FOREVER!!!!!

Until you start drilling holes thru the fiberglass in the bilge.
