[C320-list] Water in Bilge and Keel Bolts

[David Cardoza]

When the anti-siphon loop was leaking it worked its way down on the ledge
behind the trim piece at the foot of the bed then  when I'd heal to
starboard it was like Niagara falls onto to the bedding.

This weekend I noticed the bedding to be wet around the edges in the aft
cabin.  I checked underneath (water pump, stuffing box etc) and all were ok.
When the engine was running I noticed the anti-siphon loop to be slowly
leaking in the cockpit locker.  I will repair this tomorrow (probably a
stuck rubber part).  There was water in the bottom of this locker.  Can this
water leak from here to the wooden teak trim rail above the bedding on the
port side of the aft cabin. Is there a seam behind this teak rail?  I
noticed the bottom of the cockpit locker is all one piece with no seams.
There is a hole for the hose leading to this anti-siphon loop, but that
appears lower than the teak rail in a aft cabin.  I noticed tiny amounts a
water to drip down from this teak rail.  The other possibility for the
wetness in this cabin is condensation from the icebox, but there was more
water than that I would think.

Yep,  have checked the tanks.  They are empty.

I have isolated the 2 deep bilge bowls.  The one with the bilge pump and the
on just forward.  These 2 areas fill with water over night.  Tonight I will
plug the drain hole from the forward area and try to see if it is just the
center that accumulates the water.
