'87 2700 Open - Water intrusion
#1
Has anyone experienced water intrusion in the cabin? It appears water is coming in thru the table pedestal. The pedestal actually extends thru the floor when set up as a bunk. I took the pedestal out to see what's going on and found standing water in the bilge under the cabin floor. The weep hole drain is clear to allow water drain aft into the bilge outside of the cabin where the forward pump is, and there is minimal water, not enough to pump out. When the water fills up from rain or washing, the water comes up into the cabin before my automatic float switch engages the bilge pump.

I've though about installing a 3rd pump under the cabin floor, but do not have the height clearance, as the hull is only about 3"-4" to the bottom of the cabin floor. Also, aft of the pedestal is a center stringer which would prevent me from being able to install an access hatch. Not sure what I should do to stop the water. ANy ideas or experience with this?
