After sailing my buzz i take out the bung and water comes out. Does anyone know how to see where the water is coming in from?

Hi
We had this problem and did a stack of work unscrewing all fittings and re-fixing them with some silicone sealant, lots of messing with the centre board casing and swashing a solution of fairy liquid over the boat while pressurising the hull - all with no significant benefit. Then someone suggested we check under the pole and we did have a small hole here - the skin is thin here and it is eroded a little every time the pole is pushed in or out. Water is also constantly being forced along here as the boat pushes through the water forcing water into the hull.
It is a little awkward to get to but it would definately be the first place I would check. We filled it with gel-coat and then sanded so it is smooth which seems to have done the job. I would also do a visual check any other obvious holes particularly where the deck joins the hull.
Good luck sorting this one....
Best wishes Jane
