I recently noticed water in the aft sleeping quaters of my 2004 280 Sea Ray Sundancer. Can't seem to find where it's coming from.
Is it possible the airconditioner could be the culprit?
 
It is a long shot but I had this happen on my 240da while trailered in the yard. Came to find out the cockpit drain won't work if parked on a sideways grade. Water was making it over the door threshold and soaking the sleeping pads.
 
Most likely coming from either the sliding window or the bolts that hold the back lounger up, or the bolts from the windshield.

Did you recently hose out the cockpit area?
 
I am with Turtle on this one. Had the same issue with the seat bolts on a 270DA. Removed them and remounted with RTV sealant and was leak free! - Jeff
 
I had a similar problem when the caulking on the radar arch dried out. Recaulked and problem gone.
 
Check all your portals to make sure the screws are tightened. This includes the screws on the clips which hold the portal shut.
 
I did wash the exterior of the boat not the cabin area. Jim T point about the arch leaking reminded me that I noticed on the port side where the arch meets the boat, there appeared to be water along the caulking. I will definitely check that out. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
