Have been finding some water in the bilge area of my '83 P15. I suspect
a leak in or around the cockpit drain tube-probably around the exterior
part of the tube. Maybe pinhole leak in the seal between the tube and
the exterior hull? I replaced the tube when I bought the boat three
years ago-inserted a new tube, and believe I glued it in with 3M marine
adhesive.

Would appreciate any thoughts on :

    1.How to pinpoint source of leak.

    2.How to fix it-assuming involves the drain tube.

Many thanks,
