Oil in Bilge

I inspected a boat a few days ago and noticed that there was oil in the forward cabin bilge area. Quite a surprise and a good find so I turned off the forward bilge pump automatic float switch and went to work to determine where the leak was coming from.

Testimonials

Ross checked all of the boat systems, pointed out things that needed to be fixed (just a few) and took a lot of time sharing with me his vast knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. I can’t recommend Ross Hubbard more highly.

I've had two boats surveyed by Ross Hubbard's Maritime Surveyors and would not consider getting a survey from anyone else in Southern California.

Dear Ross: Thank you so much for your thoroughly engaging and informative presentation at our meeting Tuesday. Who knew batteries could be so interesting? I looked around at the audience and even saw people taking notes! I think you could tell that we are a group hungry for as much information as we can absorb. I talked to several members who agreed we want you back!
