2001 310 Sundancer. I know there are bilge pumps in the front but can't find them. I've found the engine bilge and shower bilge box under floor by the dinette. Isn't there at one up front under the bed?
 
No that's it. The A/C from the forward berth drains to the shower box the galley. Anything from the forward area bilge would just head back toward the galley bilge area and to the pump next to the shower box.
 
Doesn't your AC drain into the same box as the shower? On the 300 everything drains back to the bilge around the shower box in the middle -- there's no fwd bilge pumps.

This is what they show for your drainage system:

The area that box is located has no drain hole in it. It'perfectly dry and clean with just the box and some sealed lines going into it.
 
Started this search because I think I have some water in the hull upfront. The box in the diagram appears to be water tight with the lines going into it. How would you pump out water into he hull if one of those lines breaks (Ie: AC line breaks and leaks water into the hull.)? There aren't any drain/weep wholes into the spot the box is located.
 
Look aft of that box and you should be able to find a second bilge pump, maybe a foot apart from it. May be under the floor. That's the one that would deal with any water in the actual bilge.
