    I don't know anything about your boat but if you have the boat hauled, let
    the hull dry a while and then add water to the bilge...look under the hull
    for the leak.
    Sorry I don't have more.

    Subject: lv-ab: SeaRunner question

    Actual boat (not list) discussion :-)

    I recently (early summer) bought a 1989 SeaRunner 34' Trimaran. I don't
    have the original plans, unfortunately.

     She appears to have a very minor leak (about 1/2 cup per week)
    *somewhere* that drains into the bilge, showing up / visible just forward
    of the cockpit, in the bilge. Under that cockpit (just aft of this area)
    is where a collapsible water tank on each side of the centerboard.

    I've looked aft of the cockpit and the bilge is bone dry, so I think the
    leak s located under the cockpit area - perhaps along the centerboard
    joint. It *is* salt water (tasted it), so I dont think it's just the tanks
    leaking a bit, though I intend to pull them out next weekend just to be
    sure.

     Does anyone have plans for this boat/this part of the hull they can
    share? Or more ideas for finding the leak?

    thanks!
    jim
