Water in E25 bilge

[Jerry]

I've found water in the bilge under the head and forward sole access plates. However, there is no water under the rear sole access plate where the bilge pump pickup is found. Are there limber holes to move the water aft? If not, is there a way to get the water to the bilge pump?

Again, thanks.

I have an E-25 - you must have something clogged. I'll try to look underneath with a flash light.

Jerry, do you have a centerboard or fixed keel version of the E25. I have a centerboard model, and there tends to be a little build-up of water where you are talking. I think this is due to the fact that the water has to be able to go around the c/b trunk. If it seems overly full, you might try tipping the boat to one side for a minute or two, to see if any of the water moves to the back. If not, you might have a clogged drain.

I agree

My E-25 is a fixed keel, and the bilges at the head and mid floor all are one with the bilge over the keel.
