Mystery Leak in Salon

[Shawna]

Hello!

I have a 2000, 480 Sedan Bridge and we have suddenly discovered a mystery leak in the salon on the floor. It’s specifically on the starboard side, as soon as you walk in in front of the cupboard with the control panel.

We have gone into the engine room and cannot find anything leaking that would cause a leak in the floor above, nor a way to access it. The cupboard in the salon next to the leak have a bottom hatch but we can’t see anything after removing it. I have looked through the water diagrams for the boat model and I am thinking it may be a leak from discharge spot on the drainage system but I cannot figure out how to access the water lines. Before we cut out the carpet I thought it might be best to check in here first!

Thank you in advance to anyone who has a suggestion!

Turn off and disconnect all power from the boat, remove screws and open up elect. pannel and check for a leak coming down from the bridge/arch. I believe another member just recently found a similar leak this way.

Oh, and welcome aboard CSR.
