I seem to have a leak on my boat that I can only attribute to the water tank, I think. When the boat sits for a few days I remove the cushion in the rear aft port side and there is some water in rear area where the AC pump is located. The strange part this water is the color of weak tea. I know it can't be the holding tank or any of it's lines they are located on the other side of the boat and lower (the lines) and the tank is in the bilge separated by a locker and 2 bulk heads. There is a small drain hole in the area where ac pump is located and I can see that the water has been coming out this hole. This drain hole goes into the area where the water tank is and the area above the water tank where my water heater is located. I could understand clear water leaking in but not water the color of weak tea. The carpet in the area where the water heater is located is dry and the cupboard on the port side that slides open is also dry. I don't see how this could be rain water or I would see signs of entry. I think it could be the water tank but the color is what is confusing. How do you gain access to the water tank area on a 300da and anyone every have an issue like this? The water has no smell to it at all.
