2000 Sea Ray 310 DA - Shower is getting the carpet outside the shower soaked?

[ArtWallach]

Hello Fellow Sea Ray Owners,
I have a 2000 Sea Ray 310 DA. Every time anyone uses the shower, the carpet directly outside the head gets soaked.
We've tried to ensure the shower curtain stays in place. I used duct tape over the door vents and we caulked every seam in the head compartment.
The sump works fine and under the floor is dry. We do have to squeegee the floor to push the water toward the drain, since the drain is always on the dry side of the shower floor.
I'm even thinking the water is going over the lip of the door seal trim.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Art

Does the boat list away from the drain?

The boat isn't noticeably listing, but the drain location is toward the aft part of the head floor area, the water seems to always collect at the forward part of the head floor. Thats why we squeegee the remaining water towards the drain when done showering. That remaining water is always an accumulation on the forward part of the head floor.

Check the shower sump box if you have one

It should be pretty easy to figure out if the water is leaking out through the doorway or the vents and I suspect if it was that, you would have already figured it out. So it's gotta be somewhere else. Below the doorway is a carpeted panel - feel "into" the carpet at the edges/corners for buried/hidden screw heads and remove the panel. I suspect (at least according to the "most likely" culprit) that it could be the drain, itself, leaking. Could be the seal - could be a cracked fitting or a split drain hose... with the carpeted panel removed, dump water on the floor and observe underneath the floor.

Water leaks can be tough to find, but it sounds like you may have a problem somewhere between the drain in the floor, and the bilge pump that pushes the water out of the boat. Could be a bad hose, clog, float switch in the sump, the head floor itself, or a fitting somehwere along the line.
I don't know how your head is set up, but on my boat, and most others I've seen where the whole head becomes the shower, you'd have to be ankle deep in water for it to be high enough to seep out from the bottom of the door.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be my sink drain in the head was broke away from the sink. Had to cut it away from sink as it is all one piece . Then I found a bar sink drain I installed. took a long time to find the leak.
