Change the hoses for your cockpit drains. The outlets on the transom dip
under water while underway, and old hoses can leak enough to do exactly
what you are describing. When you buy new hoses, spend the extra money
on fuel rated hose. You never know what might get spilled in the cockpit
in the next 15 or 20 years.

When tabasco (c&c25 with an outboard) is on the dock, there is

some water in, maybe 2 quarts an hour, even in calm seas.
I am in the process of replacing some rusty keel washers, but the nuts
seem to be tight and I have no "smile".
I have a hard time believing that so much water is seeping through the
keel bolts.
Does anybody have any other logical explanation besides pressure
created on the leading edge of the keel ? I have no stuffing box.
