Sorry to hear you’re having water in your bilge, Lucy&Chris. Tom is right on all counts, fortunately it has been rare for others to have the sink plumbing failures...here are a couple other

I have earned a PhD in the subject of water in the bilge next to the forward head. If you don’t see any obvious egress from the hoses there, then the most likely source is the bow thruster. If you

On my Sharki I use a Windpilot with it’s own rudder...not cheap, but after 2 years it’s some of the best money I spent. My Neco is also 40 years old and still works perfect but I like the
