My '06 44 DB seems to be making water.
I keep getting an accumulation of water under the starboard engine. The stringers and crossmembers form a sump of sorts under the engines, and there is a recurring accumulation of water in this area, only under the starboard engine. It looks and tastes like fresh water, has no odd smell, no odd color. Has anyone else found the same issue? I'm wondering if it might be related to the fresh water tank, either the fill or vent line leaking somehow. The fresh water pump doesn't cycle, so it isn't a leak in the pressurized system. It's not an insignificant amount either. Today, I vacuumed out about eight gallons. I'm going to check again in a few days to see if it is back. The previous owner claims it's from the engine vent and has been doing this for a long time. I've looked, and I don't see how the engine vent could be the culprit. Any ideas or suggestions, or even better, solutions, will be appreciated.
