Hi mowjo, the gland is further forward and lower than where the water collects. The main bilge on our boat is quite deep so dont think it could be water ingress when the shaft is turning as I thought it just dripped down from the bottom of the gland into the bilge, it could well be flicking off all over so its definately something i will check out more closely, thanks for that idea!

Gracie i know exactly what you mean!!

Its not fair to say all the boat owning locals are rude Geoff, im a boat owning but not indigenous to Suffolk Local and I will wave at anyone! Even sailing boats

I will keep hunting and let you all know if I find where its coming from!

Oh well if thats the only thing such a masterpiece can be faulted on.......You are only human! i will bring my soft brush in October!

Look at the state of that waterline.....and I thought ours was bad!!

Its not waste water its crystal clear and doesnt smell, i did consider waste initially tho. I might try the talc suggestion next time i go, i have checked most of the plumbing and deck fillers before but its really awkward access under floor in that area, you have to crawl round the upright calorifier and over the top of the aft waste tank, i have gotten stuck under there a few times but luckily i dont get claustraphobia!!

16E we have not used the aft shower for a couple of seasons as the discharge pump stopped working and theres more room in the forward shower! Installed a new gulper type pump recently but still not used it since so I dont thinks its that. Condensation would make sense, we should have left the water pump on when we left her this time to see if it was back on next time but stupidly didnt!! If it was coming from the elements surely it would be there all the time and never dry up except for long periods of dry weather warm weather which we have certainly not been having of late!!

Thanks Alan & Polly, its been present for around 5 Years on and off its just an annoyance really, I thought it was coming from the aft cleats but after removing and resetting them it didnt solve it, we have checked the rudder post and gas locker drain, rubbing strake bolts pumpout water sockets etc etc, the fresh water filter is directly above the main bilge so no luck there either. It just seems odd that its now bone dry after not using the fresh water system for a long while, one of lifes mysteries I suppose

Its a bit of a Tricky one this, since buying our boat a few years ago theres always been a collection of water under the aft cabin floor, it forms a puddle against a stringer then eventually runs off into the bilge about midships. It doesnt cause any damage and we have wet vacced it out a number of times (approx 10ltrs) but it always returns so after many hours spent trying to trace a rainwater leak from above we have never really located anything and gave up on it. We have just been up to the boat today having not really used it this year and under the floor is bone dry even after all the recent downpours, so we are now thinking is this fresh water from the plumbing (which has been switched off mostly since November). We are not experiencing any extra pump noise and all the plumbing to that area is after the pump with the water tank being on the otherside of the boat and further forward. Any suggestions anyone?!

Only 5 and a bit for us!!

A scene from the Inbetweeners comes to mind...

Waitrose cheap!! The only one i know of in Norwich is in Cringleford but they have all got plenty of cash round there, even the buses have leather seats on that route!!

Ive been banned from Asda for playing supermarket sneak with my sons, so do most of my shopping at Tescos now.....(other stores are available!)

Do we not all find it incredibly annoying when someone doesnt wave back!!

I do wave to people on the river but often ask mysen why do we actually do this?! We dont drive to Asda waving at everyone we see....do we?......ok maybe some of us do

I remember doing a Job at Kirton Lindsey about 10 years back, more recentley Ive not noticed the massive coms tower they had there which could be seen from the A15, has the place shut down now or was the tower just taken down?

I have often considered fitting water cannons !

Im only kidding Iain but im sorry I didnt realise you were on the 0% stuff. I am in the same "boat" (you see what I did there!!) also for health concerns so its probably best we both avoid it!

But Iain? Did this fall occur after this bottle of scotlands finest you refer to in an other thread?! Im suspicious.....very suspicious

Sounds terrifying for dog and owner hope the little fella is back to full health sharpish and theres no more episodes for him

We will take very good care of her in october for our week atleast Riyadhcrew! That is the only issue with these new fangled gizmos, all it can take is for one rodney to come along and try and test them all to destruction and you starting getting problems but im all for modernism and moving with the times so hopefully people will take care of all the kit! The only worry with the females in our party (the wife and my mother) is being cold so im glad to hear shes got a top notch heating system installed.

What sort of heating system have you installed on her just out of interest? The touchscreen heating controls and the power window by the helm is very innovative imho.

Thats done me
