Check the bilge pump lines and the pump itself. The discharge line from the pump should loop up under the aft end of the stbd seat before it drops down to the transom fitting.
The rubber flaps in the pump could be worn too, does it take a lot of pumps to prime the pump? Checking the hoses on all the through-hulls is a good idea too. There should be four for sure(cockpit X2, sink and lazerette drain) or five if you have a water intake for your head. Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C&C 25 #371 Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS.

When tabasco (c&c25 with an outboard) is on the dock, there is absolutely no water coming in. When I am out, even motoring, I get 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.
