Fresh water, that kinda shortens the possible points of entry. Centerboard  
cap and also the pennant hose are the two most likely suspects. Getting 
those  areas bone dry and then sprinkling a little talcum powder in those areas 
will  give you a good shot at finding the point of entry. Either way it's a 
pain. Good  luck.

Thanks  for the info. I have a lot to look for on the boat.
Bob and Cathy...... the  boat sat on a 10-15 degree angle - bow up for about
two months before  launch. When repairing the water tank problem
I had to replace the flooring  in the head area. Water from the leaking tank
had seeped into that area and  over time destroyed the flooring in the Head.
Rob..... The Laz. was  dry.
This is two votes for around the centerboard area.
Rummy...... I am  on a lake and did remove some water into a clear plastic
jar. The color did  appear to be the same as the lake water.

##########  Does anybody  know where the bilge pump, pumps the water too? My
hose is clear PVC  tubing.###########
THANKS for the input.
Back to the boat with a  flashlight and a sponge.
