Looks like you have a date with a scrub brush and cleaner… then silicone spray.
Then look at the FAQ section for leak chasing.. anchor locker, clean out tray, etc.. it’s a pain but well worth it.

I don’t run with plugs in my anchor locker or the plug to the engine bay. The new relay is 10 stops away and then I’m taking it out. I will get it out on the water and see if I can find anything.
Things I’ve found to check are: locker bay for water bubbling up. Check inside hatch of clean out to see if leaked from scupper valve and exhaust ports.
I have a wire scrub brush and 2 cans of corrosionX on their way. That will be a super not fun day.
Beyond that, I’ll have my son watch the engines while running to see if cooling water is leaking.
thanks for the advice. I’ll check out the FAQ as well

Here’s a super great thread on the anchor locker drain. Its mainly the fact that the anchor locker drain allows water to get into the bilge between the hull and the top cap.
The clean out tray and how it is sealed is one of the biggest places of how much water gets in. Now the other question is, how long has it been since you replace the clean out plug seals? If the seals are bad a lot of water comes in the clean out tray area and is dependent on that 3/4” drain to get rid of. Also, water will come up through that 3/4” drain like a geyser when you slow down flooding that clean out tray area.
I’d start out with a stiff nylon brush and move up to the wire brush as needed… just let that corrosionX do its job for a while before applying elbow grease!
Unless your bilge runs all the time it’s probably not engine cooling water…
