[C320-list] Another fresh water problem

[Rod Boer]

A couple of weeks ago someone spilled a glass of wine in my cockpit during 
cocktails.  Another person cleaned up the mess using the stern shower; 
however, they didn't turn it completely off.  It took me quite awhile to 
find the problem but the symptoms were similar to yours.
