Hi all. We just upgraded from our maxum 2300sc to a beautiful 2005 320! Will be a great boat for the 2 kids, wife & I. But like all 'new' things, this one needs some work. I'm looking for suggestions as to where to track down a couple of leaks. And please forgive my lack of terminology and knowledge on this boat, still learning!
I seem to have two leaks in the boat, these may be related to each other. I observe a very wet carpet in the rear berth area on the floor, the floor that is sunken 8 inches or so from the rest of the floor. I also find water in the floor compartment just behind the forward berth, and the carpet at the floor level on the forward starboard side is wet.
My first thought was the water holding tank. This boat was only put back in the water a couple weeks ago so we only recently filled the water tanks, got the system working (it needed some part for the hot water heater, work performed before I purchased). But for the forward compartment below the floor, where the water seems to come from the right side floor area, I don't think there are any water tank hoses run in that area. So perhaps this is salt water (I didn't want to taste it!). We also had a large rain storm, so perhaps this is simply a leak from the deck somewhere. And no idea on that aft berth floor area, but these two could be related.
Any ideas/thoughts welcomed! Thanks.
