Re: Very Wet Bilge
I had a bit of work done around the engine last week and everything looked ok. The only leakage I get is for the first several minutes when I start the engine there is a filter on top of the riser

Re: Very Wet Bilge
Hi David. I replaced the impeller last year and should still be like new. I don't know 'strut bolt.' Is that the chain plate?

Re: Very Wet Bilge
The question if this is fresh or salt water is crucial. I had a water tank leak and recognized it immediately by the smell of water treatment I use. Sabres like to leak rain water, but 4 gallons a day

Re: Very Wet Bilge
Suggest you also check the rudder stuffing box for leaking. Also all the thru hull fittings. Wrap with toilet tissue. Come back in 24 hours. Sabres also take on a lot of water down the mast in rain

Re: Very Wet Bilge
Augustin, You should check to see if the water in the bilge is salt water or fresh water. If it is fresh water, do you have a lot of rain daily. I would check water coming down the mast. Check the

The hatches are very high quality Bomar cast aluminum hatches, suitable for blue water sailing. Expensive and much better than the junk you see on most modern production boats. You would be better off

Hello Everyone, I have a 1990 425 that I bought about a year ago. I'm not new to sailing, but am new to boat ownership. I noticed that the bilge keeps getting wet so I wiped it dry and disconnected

The original opening port lights were probably Beckson. Screens and other parts are available. Installing the screens is a PITA. The hatches on my S32 are Bowmar. If you search the list archives there
