from time to time we get water in the forward bildge ( this is the one that has washer dryer and hot water heater in it) no idea where it is comming from . it seems to just appear around the bildge pump switch
 
On the 390's... and I believe that is also the case with the 480... that is also where the water distribution system is.. it should be on the aft wall aft of the washer and dryer.... what is happening with your hoses, is that they are a factory fit size... and are starting to leak around the fitting. I had the same problem, and found that water was leaking from between the screw on top and the hose. I cut all the factory fittings off and used a new slip on screw tops with standard clamps... now no more water. You might also want to check your hot water heater... it could be leaking.

What gave me the clue was the occasional water in that forward bilge... and when I looked really closely... I could see, very occasionally a stream of water from behind the washer and dryer...
