For the last year water has accumulated in the salon bilge. I have finally found a couple small holes in the bilge bottom itself (right where the floor meets the wall) where the water seeps in. It comes in quick enough to fill an inch or so in stern portion of the bilge before it drains to through an opening the back (that leads out of the boat). It seems when I turn off the cold water supply it slows. There has to be a broken line on the other side of the wall (under the galley) but I cannot figure out how to get to it. I took off the panel under the sink and used a snake camera to look around but did not see anything. Any advice on how to further figure this out????
 
One that I used to find leaks was to cut off all valves at the manifold. Turn on the freshwater pump and let it charge the line. Then, one at a time, open your valves. After the FW pump charges the line, it will cut off. Listen for it to turn on. This will take time and patience, but if the pump runs, water is going somewhere.
