Did you get access?

Figured it out today. The check valve on the forward emergency pump was bad. Water entered through the discharge through hull fitting past the Whale Check Valve. Going to replace them all.

I just moved the new thermostat behind the starboard couch.

Went to check on the boat today and discovered the float switch for the forward engine room bilge pump was not operational. After troubleshooting I discovered the wire that supplies constant power to the float switch only has 10v. Spent a while trying to trace it but had no luck. All batteries...
