Hi everyone.
I am having a problem keeping the carpet at the foot of the companionway on my 260DA dry. I've checked the shower sump (we never use the shower, and have no AC) it's fine, and there are no apparent port or deck leaks. This 2' X 4' section of carpet is the lowest in the boat, and is always cool to the touch. Saturday I shampooed it (I'll post a separate thread on that) and extracted most of the the water, then put a couple of small fans to work drying it. Spent the night at the slip, and when I got up Sunday morning the aft half was all wet again! I'm beginning to suspect the condensate drain from the refrigerator is the culprit. Can anyone tell me where this runs from and to, and how to access it? I don't relish the thought of having to take the refrigerator out, but if it's the only way to fix this, I'll just have to. If I could access the other end of the drainline, maybe I could scrape it out with a piece of stiff wire or something.
Any suggestions or similar experience and resolutions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Bill
