I think the water pressure regulator is what flooded my bilge compartment today, I heard a whirring sound coming out of the bilge when I turned the water supply on . At first I thought it was the swim platform sprayer but upon inspection it wasn’t. However one of the blue water hoses above the water tank was shooting water out and I can’t get to it! It is very hard to maneuver into the area to even find the leak....you have to be a contortionist ...and very small to get down in the bilge area and try to stop the leak! I can barely see that one of the water hoses goes up above the water tank behind the starboard hull wall and the connnection must be loose or deteriorated, but I can’t see up there to know for sure...and I’m not sure what the hose is connecting to . It appears to be in the general area of the pressure regulator which is located on the starboard hull wall below the back bench. I unscrewed the four screws hoping to take it out and see if I could find the leak but the cover plate is stuck to the boat wall and I couldn’t pry it loose. Is it possible to remove the cover plate and inspect the pressure regulator ? I thought the pressure regulator was for a dock hose , but is it for the entire water system? Anyone have any ideas how I can get to the leak ? I’m so close but can’t contort enough to get to the leaking hose connection. In the photo , it is the blue hose on the right that is leaking but it’s obscured on where it ends .
