Good Afternoon Everyone-
I am new to the site, actually just got my CC28 on this past Saturady. I have been reading a lot of the posts and it looks like a fantastic place to talk about the CC's. Look forward to learning a lot......
Well, after running approx 200 miles from the Southern Chesapeake up through the C&D Canal over to Lewes, DE, I noticed ( through smell) I had a substantial gas leak, immedialley had the boat pulled (marinia guys were a great help) and started looking for the problem. After we had the bilge cleaned up and dry (intially seemed all gas was in the center bilge), I found more gas on the starboard side of the starboard engine ( outside the starboard engine bilge) Where the fuel line runs down from the petcok and then travels to the forwrd in approx a 5" channle to cross into the engine bilge closer to the LP fuel pump. My first question, how does gas/water get from this outside bilge to the center bilge? I pulled the fish boxes and could not find any path, but figure it has to get into the center somehow.
Had to head home for work today, and did not get a chance to trace the problem any further, but I am suspecting that it is either the fuel line or petcock that is leaking at this time. I did take a few pictures, and will post again asap.
Other than problem mentioned above, the boat ran great, have all winter to get her waxed and polished up and in tip top shape for next yrs offshore season.
Thanks for the help,
Jon
