No foam in my bilge "indentation", but I have found water there. Don't know if the water gets there from rain or a leak, though, as I've still only been able to get her afloat three times now. :-( -- John Tyner M-15 "Chimpanzee" -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tynerjr=gmpexpress.net@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tynerjr=gmpexpress.net@mailman.xmission .com]On Behalf Of Rick Langer Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 9:32 AM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Bilge Foam My M15 had a pile of expandable foam up against the partial bulkhead about a foot behind the centerboard housing. The PO didn't know why it was there and pointed the finger to the original owner. Yesterday I removed the foam and found that there is a 4" square well just forward of this partial bulkhead. My questions are; What is the purpose of this indentation and why would someone fill it with foam? I've not encountered any water there or anywhere in the cabin.
