Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 08:32:48 -0500 Ray, Had a similar issue with my LF38. My mechanic found a leak originating outside just above the keel joint and then through to the bottom of the bilge just aft of the keel. We identified it by water dripping out and leaving marks over the winter. My bilge pumps had been running - not constantly, but frequently. He thinks it was the long term result of a blister. He drilled and ground it out till he found dry material, then filled it with glass and resin. I put on barrier coat and paint. It is now dry.
This is somewhat different from "seeping through the walls of the bilge, as there were identifiable entry and exit points, but I hope it helps. If there is a lot of water coming in, then when you pull the boat and fill the bilge with water, you should see it coming out.

I have run into an issue since I put it in the water. My bilge pump is running continuously. I took a close look and I am noticing the water is seeping in from the walls of the bilge. Prior to launching I took a real close look at the keel. I saw no issues, no smile, nothing. The only part I did notice was the very bottom of the keel. Since the keel rests on the bottom of the cradle, I cannot do much inspection prior. This time I happen to see it while on the lift. I was not a smooth like the sides of the keel. In fact it was not good at all. Does that sound right. I see now water coming from any other area. Anybody have an recommendations on what to do?
