Water Collecting In Storage
I have water collecting in the storage area below the seat in the cuddy of my 27. Its not a ton but just enough to be a nuisance. Could this be spillover from the bilge? I just did an extensive first cleaning of the boat and while cleaning the interior I accumulated a lot of water in the bilge.... Anything to be worried about or ways to fix?

Raise the nose way high to drain, they put a rubber stopper in the bilge forward bulkhead drain hole to keep water from running forward. That eliminated the water in my 27's cabin.

I don't have an anchor locker, but I have had the boat out all weekend at the boat races in orange beach and drove it pretty hard in different seas, it sat still for a few hours at different stops and it is dry as a bone now. I think the problem stemmed from when I washed the cockpit out for the first time last week or so. I put a bunch of water in the boat. It's either leaking from the top deck or coming in from my bilge when a bunch of water is in it.....
