Hi!For anyone keeping score at home I’m still after a freshwater leak that accumulates water in my center cabin bilge. It starts under the aft cabin and fills enough to come into the emergency center bilge area
I am certain it’s a freshwater leak as we didn’t have water for a week and it was bone dry. Once I was on city water i had a couple gallons in that bilge within a few hours
I have literally put eyes on every hose and connection on the boat I can without completely disassembling cabinets.
it accumulates faster on city water than pump, and the pump doesn’t cycle that I’ve heard.
I am to the point of disconnecting one line at a time and seeing what leaks. Of course the first fitting I pulled off the main trunk/manifold cracked so I ordered 20 replacements.
any other words of wisdom? The water is cold, so I think it’s the cold side. I chased the entire anchor locker run and that’s dry, faucet connections are dry, toilets are dry, etc. I’m thinking it’s a kink or crack in a hose maybe somewhere under the cabin steps? The access hatches in the aft cabin are also dry
Same issue. It is probably the pressure regulator mounted to the forward bulkhead in the engine room. Had the same issue. It filled up between the stringers in the aft cabin closet then fed into that lower sump. It finally failed and was starting all over the ER. Bypassed it and the problem leak was solved.
