Between the outer hull and the lining of the anchorwell there is a small gap. As I recall. there is a 5 cm lenght of hose with clamps to direct the water from the bottom of the well to the outside of the hull. There is an inspection hole under the anchorwell in the front cabin. I and a few others have had problems with sea-water in the cavity under the well, and most have thought that the ingress was because of a leak in the joint between hull and deck. In retrospect I think that a leak in the hose at the bottom of the anchorwell may be the culprit. New members should check for water in this place - First time I discovered it, there was a lot.

In order to minimise the chances of the drain pipe blocking we added a plastic skin fitting screen inside the anchor well.
Is is not a complete fix, but easily implemented and greatly reduces the number of blockages. |

Captain Cook,
Good point! I have the problem the some water in that cavity, but never been able to find the course of it. Can you access the the drainage hose from the inspection hatch?

Hi Kristoffer As I remember, the inspection hatch is some 10-15 cm ø, so it may not be possible to reach the hose. Every year I remove a few liters of water, and it seems an easier solution than to make a bigger hole for access to the drainage hose. Over the place where the through-hull penetrates the hull, I have mounted a delta-shaped stainless cover/scupper (built to this function), so the sea-water from the anchorwell can escape even when the boat is heeling, and the draining hole is under water. :Kjeld (svb24.com item 10086/10087) Edited by Captain Cook - 13 February 2020 at 12:00 |

Thank you Kjeld. Yes, I was thinking of making a bigger hole. Good idea with the cover.

Same problem here.
I covered the whole bottom of the locker with an anti slip map which so far does a good job preventing any blockage of the drain pipe. Still have to see how durable this solution will be, but for now it‘s fine (and does not cost much). |

I know this is an old thread, but I had a problem on my 415 and accessed the pipe via the fwd cabin access to find the pipe had a kink .I shortened it to give a more direct route between the bottom of the locker and the external drain and haven’t had a problem since.It was extremely tricky though🤣
