Water Leak

[JPringle]

I have a 2008 340 Sportsman with a water leak somewhere. While I'm cruising, water is coming into the bilge from the "weep holes" in front of the emergency bilge pump (both sides). It is fresh water and I've made sure that the A/C is draining properly and getting pumped out as it should. There is water puddling on the port side of the air conditioner compartment outside of the stringer.

Does anyone know where these "weep holes" originate? Where would water be coming from that would make them drain?

Thanks in advance...

I think, there is a leak in the main drain line of your AC system. Last month, a friend of mine has also suffered from the same problem but thanks to the team of emergency ac service Bergen County NJ who helped him by giving the proper service. There is a possibility of who air conditioner damage in this leak is not repaired in time, so I wil advice you to get this work done faster. Hope this can help you in solving your issue.

JPringle, I am not familiar at all with your boat, but I had a similar situation. My forward shower drain had a leak that would collect between a stringer and hull. After filling up, it would then overflow into the mid-ship bilge (where my shower sump is located and the salon AC drains into that shower sump). The water would ultimately collect in the bilge area where the high water alarm bilge is. I had been reconditioning my freshwater system, and flushing tons of water from the tank through all of the outlets. At least it was "clean" water!

The trick to solving my problem was that it was not a continuous situation. I had to run water to find it. Hope this helps you.
