I'm trying to track down a small water leak. The pic below is from the lower compartment in my galley looking aft. That limber hole is leaking water. The water is fresh (my boat is in brackish water).
At first I thought it was rain water, so I check around the windows and caulked a few areas. I also shut off the water supply and depressurized the system, vacuumed all the water up.
I let the boat sit a couple of days and we had a good rainstorm, and no water. Yesterday I was at the boat and applied shore water, and a few hours later the water appeared. So I have isolated it down to a small leak somewhere in my fresh water supply.
So here's the deal. That area is inaccessible. With the exception of the limber hole there is absolutely no access to that void area. Right now it looks like I will have to take a jigsaw and cut an access to the top, and even with that it's a tight spot (next to the AC unit)
I checked my sink above and checked the connections, no wetness, no signs of water. I don't know what's in this void area, but I do know I have water coming from there.
Any ideas?
