Water in Middle Bilge 2010 DA370

[beasterdamas]

We have a 2010 DA370. The past two years we’ve had a rather significant amount of water accumulate in the middle bilge. Thought we’d corrected the problem by resealing all the hoses and fittings associated with the freshwater tank, but that apparently didn’t do it. Any ideas regarding where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

This happened with my 400DA. Turned out to be prop shaft seals

What is the middle bilge? Do you have a picture?

Hi
Whats NORMAL amount of water in centre of bildge?
I find there is always about 2-5 cm of water in there, even after a run and I run the pump to clear most of it

Problem resolved after we had the rub rails removed and seams re-caulked

I found that my covers at the helm allowed water in. I tested by folding the covers in and using some buckets to catch water. Carpets stone dry and nothing in bildge. Removed and yesterday found water. could be just as simple as that
