Leak in Aft Cabin of 2000 410 DA

Yesterday upon retuning to my dock, I noticed the carpet in the Aft Cabin was saturated with rusty colored water. Not a worrisome amount, but enough to get me tearing into every panel in and around the Cabin. I cannot locate a parted hose anywhere and the bilge is for the most part dry. It appears to be draining from somewhere forward of the Aft Cabin, but without tearing out all of the carpeting, I can't really be sure. I used a Shop Vac to suck up all of the water until the carpet was mostly dry and then took the boat out and ran it for about 2 hours constantly checking the Aft Cabin for water. Finally, I noticed a slow seep that appeared to be coming from forward, so I removed all of the settee cushions, but all compartments were dry. Has anyone experienced this before?

The only rust-colored water on my boat comes from the #$%&@ condensate trays. Have you checked your #$%&*@ condensate trays and their drain lines?

I had water in the rear compartment of my 400DA but it came from the engine compartment. Only water I can think of as you described would be from the heads or the ac units

I am checking the AC unit in the salon and condensation tray. I’ll let you know what I find. Thanks guys!

Um, I think you meant, "I am checking the AC unit in the salon and #$%&@ condensation tray".

If I could only get the people who designed all sump pumps and rust-prone pans into the same sound-proof, windowless room...

Where is your water pump. Mine was all the way up front under the floor of the v-berth. It was leaking, and that water ended up in the aft cabin floor. The bilge runs the entire length of the cabin.
