1989 sea ray 200 cuddy leaking water near dash

Hi all-
Trying to figure out why and how water is leaking from somewhere near the dashboard. We just purchased the boat and had it out for the first time on Monday. Once we got to plane I began to notice water dripping on my feet and the side carpet and storage area were dripping wet I have looked at every square inch of the boat and there are no holes ECT. Water was not choppy so did not splash in..seems to be right about the rub rail line but I pressure washed the hell out of the boat outside and not a drop in the boat..any thoughts as to where this water may be coming from?

check the tube that connects to the back of the speedometer in the dash. The pickup is at the transom and water pressure forces air to the gauge. The air pressure is then converted to MPH. If the clamp is lose or the hose is worn through it will allow the air to egress and the boat moving will force water out the damaged portion.
