start_time="1445" finish_time="1745" weather="Mid 40's" Set up a heater to raise the temperature in the boat and contribute to drying out. Ran the heater for three hours. Brought it back home at the end of the day.
Used a small shop vac to remove what little water had collected in the "sump" of the bilge. Removed water from below the port side drawer support and from the bottom of the hanging locker. No water below the starboard side drawer. The boat is sitting with a decided port list. No water below the sink or the starboard settee.
Removed the batteries from their compartments. Need replacements and well as replacements for the MRBF-1 Terminal Fuse Block and MRBF Terminal Fuse - 150A located between the battery and the battery cable. May need to replace battery cables as well. Battery charger appears unaffected. Battery switches were, and are, in the "off" position.
Checked the engine oil. High, too high. Added two much on 2023-11-30. Pumped out enough oil to bring the level down to the proper point. In doing so, checked for water in the sump from the flooding....none, thank God.
Removed the raw water pump impeller and fan belts.
Wiped a number of isolated drops of condensation from inside of the cabin. Having found some, proceeded to wipe down the entire cabin. In doing so, discovered and removed isolated spot of black mold. There must be something in the boat, as my eyes and nose were irritated at the end of the day. Need to clean the boat throughly with hot water Formula B (Good Old Boat) .
After turning off the heater, put the fan back in the companionway, opened the forward hatch, and ran the fan for about fifteen minutes to remove as much warm, and comparatively (hopefully) moist air from the boat as possible.
No idea of the source for so much water. Should have removed the raw water intake hose from the valve and left the valve open or removed the knotmeter blanking plug. Raw water intake most likely preferable as it is likely lower in the boat. Checked the cockpit drains with the "bottle brush"...appear open.
