I think it was Duanne who mentioned the problem he had with his cockpit scupper lines failing and bringing water into the boat thru back pressure when healing.

Well, I had the same problem but the water was coming in from the bow ... I could see it running aft into the bilge.

As I was crawling around down below trying to figure it out, the Admiral asked about the small hole down by the water line just behind the bow on the starboard side...eureka moment... the anchor locker drain hole.... plugged it up (with a candle, again at the Admiral's suggestion... if you ever need a quick plug for a smallish hole I recommend a candle...jam it in and it fits snuggly.... we'll see how long it lasts); went out on  port & starboard tacks and no water..

Now the question..... has anybody tried to access the area under the chain locker? I see no way to get to the drain line short of cutting an access hole into the locker  side, which I am reluctant to do.
