Hello All Overwhelmed with so many helpful responses. Thanks to all. I will try scupper plugs and sponges and all other practical suggestions. Glad to know nothing is wrong with boat. Have had many other sailboats and this is the first one that took on water this way. Sandra

i found that the M15 would 'siphon' water into the cockpit (less than 1/2-inch) under these conditions - beam reach and downwind in lumpy seas and light wind (lots of boat motion) in lumpy seas more than two adults of average weight in the cockpit in moderate winds on a reach and downwind. once water enters the cockpit the floor must be level (or really full of water) for it to drain. beating to the wind you can have a couple of inches 'in the corners'. dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA former M15 owner visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Sandra Anton <sailrsandy(a)yahoo.com> wrote: I just lauched my 2006 Montgomery 15 this week for the first time in Barnegat Bay NJ, and there is water in the sole of the cockpit almost all the time. Any one had this happen to them? Am I doing something wrong. Had 3 pjeople in the boat including myself. ?? Sandy

He's a "Golden Doodle"............which is a high priced mutt! hahaha Some people call them "designer dogs)...yeah, whatever....he's an engineered mutt! Mamma was a Standard Poodle and Pappa was an English Golden Retriever. Honestlt, he's the best dog I've ever had. We love him (like that's not obvious by the 10,000 pics we took of him!) **************Looking for love this summer? Find it now on AOL Personals.

sean: a customer was in the store yesterday asking about hair trimmers. his dog is like yours - polar bear. his is 80lbs. 'B' has some growing to do to fit into those large feet ;-) dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Tue, 7/7/09, Nebwest2(a)aol.com <Nebwest2(a)aol.com> wrote: In response to: "Sean & Jo: Keep us posted on super dog. Send pictures as he grows!" Will do, Gary. He's just tipping the scales at 50lbs..10 lbs more than he weighed in before the trip. I swear I can see him getting bigger in the pictures from the 3 weeks we were on vacation. We'll keep "his" webpage on my site updated regularly. Why?...because I'm a "weird dog person!" hahaha

i added almost 75# to my M15 ... installed an electrical system and the group 24 battery (almost 75lbs) sat just forward of the steel 'hump' the older M15's have under the v-berth. the battery in box fit like it was built for the location. dave scobie former M15 owner M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.web.com --- On Tue, 7/7/09, Hughston, Larry <Larry.Hughston(a)dgs.ca.gov> wrote: Bob, You just mentioned you had added ballast of 75 pounds for an M-15.

Ps....You sent me a new CB a few years ago....worked out great. I beefed up the SS pin and did it right. Thanks. -----Original Message----- Regarding water in the cockpit on the Montgomery 15.. A couple of points to consider: 3 people in the cockpit of an M_15 will squat the stern somewhat. On Sandy's 2006 M_15 she has an extra 75 pounds of lead ballast (owner ordered option) This would make a difference.

>>Larry, the hot dog hat is a "shoe-in" with corn dog! Yeah, the group turned the tables on me at the Dubious Awards cermony and presented me with that hat. However, they also gave me a neck tie with pictures of CornDog on it, and a generous gift certificate to WM! Oh boy! More boat goodies! Thanks again, guys. It was a really great cruise with great people. Larry
