For those who have interest, either in solving their own problem or
helping out a fellow boater, I have continued troubleshooting my water
leakage problems over this past weekend.

For those who have not read my previous postings on this subject, I am
taking on significant water underway, but not a drop while she is
dockside. My friend managed to track the water ingress as coming from
forward of the engine room bulkhead, but nothing more specific.

I had a similar problem that turned out to be a crack in the underside of the rubber
boot that encases the shift cable. The only time it took in water was when the outdrive
was trimmed up. While dockside with the drive down, it took in no water. Are you sure
the water is coming foward of the engine compartment?
