I had a similar situation although the symptom was different. My tank was leaking water into that bilge. Sometimes it would leak down to a quarter tank, and other times completely empty the tank. After a lot of messing around and what I called investigation, that was really procrastination; I...

Did you find the source of the leak?

Remove the carpet in the storage area under the sofa, there are three small access hatches under there that provide access to the fills at the tank and tank level sensor. Immediately aft of that is a vertical access panel that gets you to the bilge pump.

It is in the compartment behind the back cushions of the forward facing salon couch. I relocated it to the compartment under the seat cushions of the same sofa for easier access and better cooling.

Steve36 is correct. It is in the compartment behind the back cushions of the forward facing salon couch.

Did you ever figure this out?

There are access hatches over the fill and supply hoses which are all on the top of the tank. There doesn't appear to be any other connections to the tank sides. The tank leaks down to a 1/4 so I've been assuming that the leak is somewhere between a 1/2 and 1/4. I have been running away from...

Ok thank you

I am losing water from my water tank into the cabin bilge. It is not consistent as sometimes it leaks to empty but other times just down to a quarter tank. I looked at the install diagram and see no connections in the lower part of the tank. The actual tank cannot be inspected without taking...

It's awesome I just wish I had more free time, but considering 365 boating season, clean clear safe waters, numerous destinations and anchorages most less than an hour apart - what can I say..... See you all soon

I live in the BVI and I know the Moorings very well. They are very well known and have built their reputation on quality boats and services. They can also offer bareboat charters or arrange a flotilla for you. I highly recommend them. Plus the venue in the BVI is absolutely awesome. See...

Correction the "V" drives. I think it's the same on the 8.1

On the 6.2 it is screwed into transmission cooler right above the transmission which is on the back of the engine, which is towards the front of the boat because the engine is installed facing aft due to the B drives. When you open the hatch look straight down just behind the bulkhead on top of...

The basic principles for boat handling are consistent and apply to all boats, however every maneuver is different even at the same location because wind and current can be different. The trick is to factor the wind and current into your docking and make them work for you. Try to work with them...

I read about this and a 480 that I was considering last year had a temporary repair for a blown out window. As I recall one of the pieces of advice was to avoid placing the fenders by the windows when the boat is docked, because the boat puts pressure on the windows especially if it is sloppy...
