I have a 22 Sport and I often get water in the bilge area that will get up to the floor boards. I noticed that I do not get water in the aft lockers, settee seat and v-birth storage areas. Where could the water be coming from? Any one else have this issue and if so what can be done to resolve?

Thanks in advance,
Sean

Check all your through holes? Also sometimes leaks can start at the stern bolts for the bottom rudder gudgeons, motor mounts, companionway or windows. You didn't give details of when the water is appearing such as after a sail, is boat stored in water, after rain or boat washing, after excessive heeling, ect.
