[C320-list] Water/moisture bottom of head bulkhead

[Jeff Smith]

To all,

I am currently on the hard and have been for 10 days (typical maintenance).
Today I noticed water stains along the bottom of the bulkhead below the
head door. My wife and I have noticed this before, but we thought it was a
stain from a previous water leak with the previous owner.

I removed the bulkhead vertical wood trim, the bulkhead and the white
plastic trim on the seam. I can see moisture coming up the wood,
approximately 6” to 12”, but there is no obvious source.

1. Is it possible it is from the shower sump? How do I access the pump that
is currently inop (tango uniform for my military brothers and sisters)?

2. The other question is, is it possible it is from under the floor boards
(bilge area??) beside the settee? Before I remove the table, and all the
other stuff I have stored there from my maintenance, I thought I would ask
if this is possible. Is this part of the shallow bilge?

I am not inclined to think it is coming from topside, because it is dry at
the top and only wet at the bottom 6”.

My bilge area that I can easily access is dry.

There is no sign of water staining on the bottom of the bulkhead going to
the aft cabin.

I appreciate any thoughts in advance.

Cheers,
Jeff
