Replying to:Flow in bilge
Could someone mperhaps enlighten me about the following: we have a little water coming in through our shaft seal (we have an inboard shaft diesel). This is normal. As far as We have worked out the water is supposed to flow between the cabin floor and hull to the area under the toilet where the bilge pump is. Is that correct? In our case it does not seem to flow as the area where the bilge pump Is, is perfectly dry and the water comes out a round 3/4 in hole in the cabin floor just in front of the kitchen (this hole has a plug which does not stop the water though). Could anyone explain me how this water flow between aft and front in the bilge is supposed to work and how to fix it if it is indeed clogged. Cheers, joost
