Am getting water leaking into the forward cabin through the thru-hull drain of the anchor locker. Visually it looks fine, but as soon as you run water through there it starts dripping down below. What's the best way to reseal around that fitting? And should I re-coat the entire compartment with some kind of epoxy paint or something? Like I said, there doesn't appear to be any cracks or damage.

Welcome aboard. Up at the top to the right is a search tab. If you search for 'anchor locker leak' you will find a multitude of threads. Most of them will recommend increasing the size of the drain in the process of fixing the leak. Again, welcome aboard.

The anchor locker is a pan that was dropped into the opening before they put the deck on. It was then poorly tabbed into the liner, or hull depending on how they cut the liner. Then, they drilled the drain hole without sealing the pan to the liner and hull at the front.
Drill the hole larger diameter, pack the hole with thickened epoxy and drill a hole through that. You will essentially be making an epoxy sleeve.
My two cents.

I found that I had a cracked hose leading to the thru-hull. Changed that out and my leak went away.

Dave, only the last ones had the improved anchor locker, everyone else has a completely different locker and drain.
Mountain sailor, try the search function, this has been discussed recently.

Ah, thanks Frank, I didn't know. I guess I need to get on an older boat and check out the differences.

I love the pic! Not sure If I'm more impressed by the beer in the foreground or th emountains behind though.

Try downloading a program called irfanview. It makes resizing pics simple.

Another option is that instead of linking ot the fullsized pic in snapfish, you can link to the thumbnail.

No! That's a GREAT beer if you like a little more flavor than is in a Bud, and by the looks of the label on the beer shown, you do.

It has been confirmed... that was in fact a Dundee Honey Brown. You have a keen eye, Dave. (and I never drink Bud, if I can possibly avoid it)

I downloaded some Windows power tools option for resizing photos. Now I just open the photo and right click and it gives me the resize option. Doesn't get much easier than that.

Or if you use the Firefox browser with "image zoom". Just right click the photo and pick between 10 and 400%!
