Anyway, when we got back to the beach, I opened the rear hatch and there was
a lot of water in the compartment.  I don't remember ever seeing that much
water in a Sea Lion compartment before.  The neoprene cover was on and in
good shape.

Has anyone experienced this problem before and if so, where do you think the
water came in?

Cheers,
Dave

I, too, have seen this happen because the bulkhead adhesive failed. But the
best advice I can offer is to fill the compartment with water and see where
the water runs out.
