Technical / Re: Flooding locker
« Last Post by Graham W on 04 May 2024, 11:23 »You imply that water is getting into the locker when you are not using the boat and it is under cover, which is puzzling. Slightly related, I had thought that my problem with water getting into my starboard forward buoyancy tank was due to a possible hull-deck joint issue but it turned out not to be the case. The GRP chap that investigated it decided that it wasn't at all likely for that to happen and that the problem arose from leaking fittings - in my case a large foredeck bullhorn cleat used for mooring and to a lesser extent the starboard chainplate. Both now fixed.
There's a useful thread on water getting into the lockers when the boat is in use and what to do about it https://www.swallowyachtsassociation.org/smf/index.php/topic,414.0.html. Simon Knight's enthralling lockercam video on Youtube is still live! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utx5lk57TU8
