I've got a 2002 model that seems to have a leak in the freshwater tank. The pump runs continuously when the power is turned on. Also, If I fill the tank, the next time I use the boat there is more water in the bilge.

I can't see where to access the tank to check for a leak. Any ideas?
 
If the pump runs continually when on even though you have no taps open it's an indication of a leak somewhere between the pump and fixture (at a fitting or a supply line). Depending on where it's leaking, water definately could be seen in the bilge.

As far as a leak in your water tank, you can test that by filling the tank with the water pressure pump OFF and leave it for a day or so. It your water tank level has dropped it would indicate a water tank leak.

If you don't know where your tank is, just follow the water line feeding the pressure pump back and you'll find it.
 
It is under the bunk in the aft berth there is a access hatch to the tank and shower drain.
 
Thanks. I found the access hatch to the shower drain. However, I don't see where the water lines enter the water tank. It looks like there might be some screws securing a larger hatch behind the small shower drain access hatch.
