After three days of rain, I found that leaks in the bow from the pulpit screws. The bilge was at the same level after they pumped. I think, originally water came from the life line stay and the cockpit drain hole. I put white napkins under transmission and engine. In result, only one oil drop...

Yes, correct. It looks the same in the photos and water is a gift :)

The bow has leaks - it’s true. I pumped water and made dry little bit. Today will be rain and will check the level tomorrow. The top part of the bow inside has some black spots and peeled off paint maybe. What is it?

The return fuel hose was not zipped too The input hose was ok:

I spent a whole day for a survey. I found some water leaks on starboard side where a drain from cockpit, the life line stay is moving and unscrewed. The shaft place is wet and rusty. One hole line in the deck corner. In the back store was two gasoline canisters that can leak.

Some local owners said that is delamination. I pumped around 15 gallons of water. It’s brown. I assume that it was collected years. If I will take care about it, should be water every time there?

Yes, there are few bolts. I don’t know if there is a rotten but when I walk on the bow deck then hear the creak sound. Is it the same? I tapped with hammer but not hear any hollows.

The bow outside looks great too:

Fast question: All it’s perfect but in front is water. It’s without smell. Is it normal after rain season? They pumped bilge before me and looks ok.

Yes, they replaced the Atomic 4. It looks like Ericson E27 has a deck-stepped mast. I will check tomorrow the mast and possible deck leaks. Thank you, guys.

It's Ericson 27 1978 with Kubota Beta Marine 14 engine. The image is below. I didn't look under the engine because the first review did via a video call. Tomorrow, I will visit them and will do a survey by myself. I prepared and bought the west marine hand pump, 5gal bucket, 1q of Delo 400 oil...

Hello, I want to buy a boat from the broker. He doesn't know the boat history. It has oily bilge and the boat is docked from Oct 2019 without electricity in the Seattle area. What worse can cause the oil leak? Is it a bad idea to buy this surprise? How properly I should pump the oily bilge...

Sorry, my mistake. I mean for E27. The documents don't have the same book which he displayed.

Hi Scyph, I saw a screenshot from the E37 E27 Owners Manual. Do you have a link to this pdf document?
