[C320-list] Water leak

[pat reynolds]

as a ps to my last reply my shutoff valves for the water tanks (1995 model) are under the sink so it is possible for the hoses themselves to have a leak from the tank to the valve.  As the hoses are inaccessable in some areas you might want to put a different food coloring in each of the tanks and see if you can trace it that way.  If the boat came from a dealer I would let them know.

Ok, the new (to me) boat arrived today on a trailer, and gets relaunched tomorrow morning. I topped off the water tanks, and the forward tank must have been about empty, the stern tank taking very little. Here's the problem-the bilge keeps slowly filling up, kicking on the bilge pump. I can see a slow trickle entering the art end if the bilge....any ideas?????

Thanks for any suggestions
