Seafari forward bilge drainage

[FishStretcher]

The drain holes between bulkheads in my 25 are quite small, I found the forward area under the anchor locker full of water, and basically unable to drain. I have a bilge pump in the stern under the engine, and under the cockpit sole, I may add one forward. I too found iffy tabbing in my boat.

When you say "iffy tabbing", what do you mean? crummy from build or starting to come loose from age and use? Where was it iffy?

From the bulkhead forward of the fuel tanks, aft of the cockpit sole step down to the hull and stringers. Not sure if this was OEM or not, but one layer of 0/90 tape. Stringers had biax tape to the hull. Still messy, but ok. A raw water intake (for the old OMC?) was down there and repaired. I re-repaired it with some 1708. So the bulkhead might not be original.

Doesn't sound original. My tabbing was original, for sure and was what I call woven roving.
