[C320-list] Water in master bedroom

Chris - You are correct.  I didn't read Diane's post very carefully.
Leakage from the rear tank would end up in the bilge, not the small locker.

 I didn?t see Diane?s original post, but as that small locker is not really
very accessible to water leaking from the tank inspection port, I would
suspect the stanchion on the deck above it as another likely suspect.

Hi Diane.
Didn't see any answers, so I will chime in.

That is a common problem if you fill the front tank with valves to both
tanks open.  The aft tank is lower and it will overfill.  The water is
probably coming out of the access port, which is prone to leaking.
Sometimes this can be solved by lubricating the access port, but the best
solution is to fill tanks separately and open the valves only when you are
drawing from that tank.
