[Public-List] Help water leak!

[Ted Liszczak]

All,
I have owned A-345 for thirty years. When the boat was launched this 
year, water accumulates in the bilge. So much that every three days it 
comes up to the battery boxes. Prior to me owning the boat the boat 
broke its mooring and the keel struck rocks and needed fiberglass repair 
(1 square foot).  I have read the A-30 threads of water coming in from 
the keel. The boat yard has looked at all through hull fittings, the 
stuffing box and they wonder if water is getting in the cutlass bearing? 
Has anyone had that much seepage from the cutlass bearing? I don't want 
to replace everything, without a guarantee to fix the leak.
Sincerely,
Ted
A-345 Freedom
