Hello captains
Unfortunately, I have a lot of fresh water seeping in from under the floor. I have used fruit color and can ascertain that the water comes from the drain in the floor of the bathroom. But it also seeps up under the floorboards from a small hole! Do you have to remove the entire floor to lay new hoses, or what do you do? Unfortunately, I can't attach a picture because this forum reminds me of something from the 90s, and it only accepts pictures up to 500 KB! How crazy that Hanse is not more modern. Thanks for the help! B.R. C. Nierich.

Hi
I have disasembled the drain from above. Remove the drain grate, put the screw back and then You can attach a thin steel wire to the threads of the screw that holds the drain together. Let the drain drop into the void. Then apply TEC7 around the edges on the underside of the floor with a finger. Then hoist up the drain again and tigthen the steel wire and let it cure. And lastly reassemble the drain again.

If you have water there and a hole as well, then you might also want to check the bilge under that level. Likely there is more water there and you will want to remove it if the boat will be in freezing temperatures during winter.
To get access to the lower level: 1) remove the cushions from the couch on starboard/right side of the saloon 2) remove the storage tray that is screwed into the hull 3) you should now have access to the areas indicated with arrows on this picture: https://imgur.com/TvNQaHn I got several buckets worth of water from there.
