sinking feeling,pt.2

Post by chris mullins »

if anybody has a real old cd25,you might be interested in this.i was sailing mine real hard the other day,and it started filling up with water.what happened was,there are these holes in the bulkhead foreward of the engine well,originally used to route hoses and wires.with the boat heeled way over in kind of big seas,the engine well was scooping up the stern wave and pouring it down the holes,about 3 in. dia.this would never happen with the redesigned engine compartment in the late 70s boats,but if anybody has an old one like mine,you might want to plug up those holes.
