I'm at Starport. I did find all my forward carpet dripping wet just after they lowered me back in. It was coming in the anchor rode holes. I estimate 150 to 200 gallons to get that high on the floor. Fortunately it wasn't a super cold winter or could have cracked my hull. I'll address in the fall and make all aware to go bow higher and open the Stern drain.
Thanks for the reply
You should probably check, but I don't believe that any water in the forward half of the vessel will go into the engine room or to the aft cabin where the hull drain plug is. The bulkhead at the forward end of the engine room is solid down to the hull, although there is one opening (which should be sealed with silicone caulk) where wiring goes through right above the forward bilge pump.
What if you backed the boat into the slip before they hauled and blocked it for winter? Would they let you do that? Would that allow it to ride bow-high?
