Water in the bilges under the salon

[rszarka]

Guys, i just found something which kind of concerns me.... I opened up the bilges under my salon ...the middle forward bilge and the aft port bilge both had quite a bit of water in them and everything was wet! How the hell could water get up there?? My first thought was i think the bow thruster is in the middle forward bilge, could it be possible that is leaking??? I am checking all the water lines etc that go through there and can not find any leaks .... It is not a tremendous amount of water but enough where both the rugs in there are soaked!! Got everything out and letting it dry out! Any ideas on what to check how water would be getting way up there? They are both higher than the waterline i think so i doubt its from the hull .... bow thruster or something leaking! Any ideas what to check??

Dry it out, leave the hatches open and look to see where the trickle of water begins...

1st question - is it fresh or salt water?

It is fresh water, with the help of Graham from this site i diagnosed the problem as the drainage tubes to the sump were blocked so when I ran the AC the condensations was overflowing down into the bilge and flowed back to where my sump is under the MB ...on the way there it wet carpets and other things in the bilge that remained wet.... I am now getting those AC condensation tubes flowing again and the problem should be solved
Thanks for the help guys.
