Gladys leaking

Rich as Geoff is away.
Gladys is leaking around the bung fitting not through a misplaced bung. Her bilge pump blows off the outlet hose. The second from bow starboard side batten socket falls off when batten removed.
Thanks, Michael

Thanks Michael. I’ll have a look this week. In your experience does there seem simple remedy before I have a look. ?

Rich, The floorboard needs to come out to gain access. The water appeared to be coming around the through hull fitting. While it is up if there are limber holes in the supporting structure they must be blocked. We tipped her up on the trailer and a rush of water came aft, again and again, it should have been a steady flow.

Let me know if you need help.

Hmmm thanks Michael. Sounds like an overdue but necessary maintenance project.  I’ll speak to Geoff and get back to you. Asap.
