Water in forward bilge but from where?

[My Girl]

My 07 270 Aj is collecting water in midship/forward bilge. My high water alarm went off and my carpet is soaking wet as it is wicking the water. Can anyone point me in the direction to figure out where it’s coming from? Also, the little platform next to my fridge carpet is wet also. That platform is higher than the bilge. Any and all ideas appreciated!

Given the raised platform is wet, that eliminates anything on the stbd side. Culprits then become a rubrail leak or portlights. You didn't mention if it's salty/fresh and/or if this happens after running the boat or a rain - those things would be helpful. BUT... the most common culprit is the portlight(s)... either not closed tight enough (dog latches can be tightened) or exterior sealant failing.

On my 360 if i fill the fresh water tank all the way full i will get some water in my front bildge compartment

Could it be AC Condensate?

He'll know for sure, but I believe his tank is in the (engine) bilge.

And... you should get that leak fixed before it gets bigger!

Unlikely, given where the wetness is and where his AC condenser is.

I'd look at the fridge, especially if it has a water intake for an ice maker. May be starting there, and collecting in the bilge. Salt or Fresh will go a long way to diagnosis, unless you are lake/river boating.
