 Hi, trying to track down a slow leak and not sure I know where it’s coming from. I’ve been ending up with water in my aft cabin bilge area where the AC pump is. I’ve installed a pump to easily empty it while I track down the source. I think the water is coming from a weep hole just under the bow thruster. I can see water seeping from a weep hole that’s sort of molded into the floor. This is accessible from the forward floor access panel, forward of the front shower sump. This weep hole looks like it goes under the tube for the bow thruster and I’ve felt all around the bow thruster with no leaks coming from it. I thought maybe it’s ac condensate because the floor pan is rusted out but we haven’t run the ac in a week or so. That whole platform that the ac sits seems to be over this weep hole and it looks dry in that area. The only thing I can think of is maybe the anchor locker? But the anchor locker has drains on both sides as well. Does anyone have any idea what that weep hole connects to? |

Looks like it is in the fwd bilge? and will drain back to aft bilge where aft bilge pump should pump it out? We have both fwd and aft bilge pumps but fwd pump never runs, all water (if any) flows back to aft pump and it will pump out when level high enough. Neither pump ever runs untill a few weeks ago, stbd sea water pump shaft seals bad and dripping into bilge, then when I heard aft pump running found leak at pump. Replaced pump totally with new and all fine  |

Eventually it'll get high enough to get to the rear bilge but in the meantime it'll sit at the mid birth cabin bilge. I dismantled a good portion of the from head and bed this weekend. I'm not sure I found the source because I can see in front of the bow thruster tunnel and behind it. There's water weeping from the small channel under the bow thruster with nothing appearing on the other side. I did also find that the galley sink drain line was pinched and cracked probably during install of the top side liner. I'm planning on cutting out the bad section, doing a union and running a new length of hose to the sump pump box.
