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.

check out where the rails on the deck where they are caulked.mine leaked there and water would accumulate under the seat and mold.it only leaked when it rained,or whemn i washed the boat.

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.....
