Thanks to all for your feedback.
I have spent six years attempting to figure this puppy out. I do understand that it is a problem with most Bahias …. That being said I will now put in some
history.
It is in the sugar scoop - right at the blunt end of the
boat.
There is no connection between this area and the
engine room. No
oil, no colour, just plain old salty water. Nothing else can get in.
I have cut a hole in one of the steps to gain access to view.
When
on the hard, filled the compartment up with water. Water came out of screw holes that fixed the bumper strip to the curve. I removed it and filled up the holes. No water gets in there. Removed the ladder and re-fixed. No water gets in there. Removed access
hatch and replaced. No water gets in there.
Apart from the
rudder stock, there is nothing else….
Any
Bahia owners with similar problems???
