Re: Water in bilge
A friend of mine with a 356 had one of the screws at the base of the rudder post leaking. Not that much, but his bilge is normally bone dry, so it bugged him until they pulled the boat for the season so he could fix it. Probably would have taken him all season to get 10 gallons in there.

Thanks KM, I'll look it up when I get back to it. To tell you the truth I have not measured how fast it filled out the amount it was in there, but it was not getting any more than what was there regardless of the amount of time past.
