I recently noticed a small trickle of
water coming from behind the small
inspection cover at the bottom port side of the
mast. I opened the cover and was surprised when a couple of litres of
water came out. From the photos you can see the high tide mark, where the water overflows down the cable conduit and into the chain locker.
My question is should this much water be inside the
mast and if not where is it getting in. Second how should the water drain out, is there blocked drainage holes I can't see? Would it be ok to leave the
inspection cover off to allow for drainage or does it play some vital part? Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
