: [...] The floatation blocks themselves get saturated. The closed-cell foam can take up water through osmosis. Each of the foam blocks inside my Fish weighed 30+ pounds.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but no water runs out AND I can hear and feel (by weight transfer) a large amount of water SLOSHING back and forth inside. Do waterlogged blocks make such a sloshing sound? I understand that I might have waterlogged blocks, but I clearly ALSO have a LOT of LOOSE water that doesn't drain, and that latter is the puzzle.
Anyway, I intend to get to the "bottom" of it. Tomorrow I will cut into the deck just behind the splashguard, and see for myself. Thanks for your help.
