(link) (pic) (Bob s-v Watermark - Mac26S - Ottawa River - ON) Thanks Guy's. I have not had time to check the V-berth as of yet. The person I got the boat from has filled it with foam blocks. The boat is in the water all the time and probably won't be on the trailer till fall. Once I remove all the foam blocks I'm hoping my leak is there. We were sailing on the weekend and as I filled the tank again water seeped into the starboard bilge. It has to be the ballast tank. There are not hole on the outside of the boat. Thanks Rod.
