Well it happened again today much to my surprise. When I looked out this afternoon, stern was sitting much lower in the water indicating trouble. Seas were calm, and we were out on the boat yesterday, all was fine. So when I got out there today, sure enough, the back was flooded again. Even the battery boxes were full, so something significant happened. Bilge battery was dead, so it must have been running long enough to wear down completely.

No rain in the last few days, but there may have been some waves last night as the wind did pick up. Didn't seem bad though as I can usually hear significant surf from the house.

I replaced the mooring line with a 20' length at the start of this season, thinking that would help, but it seems not.

Anyone have any other ideas on what may be causing this as it seems like it's going to be an issue every time that there are swells now?
