[C320-list] Return of the Freshwater leak...

[Jane & Ken]

Bernie,When all else fails---get a leaf blower to find deck/hardware leaks.  Have someone topside with a soapwater spray bottle spraying on every hole.Seal the boat and "pressure-up" the boat using the leaf blower.The leak-if topside- will show up as bubbles.  Works everytimeif the topsides or window leaks.

Hi all,

 

The leak is back!  I went down to the boat today and found about a gallon
and a half of Fresh water swilling around in the area below the sink (I have
the drawers out) and spilling into the bilge . I can`t figure out where it
is coming from as it doesn't seem to be the water tanks or heater and I am
beginning to suspect rain ingress. We have had quite a bit this week. 

The forward bilge and water tank is dry, and I have marked the water tanks
level to see if it is from the internal plumbing somewhere. In the meantime
any ideas where that amount of external water could be getting in as I can`t
see anything obvious. Hatches are all tight. 

 

Regards 
Bernie
