I have a 1987 Trojan 10 Meter Mid-Cabin and have a bad water leak problem somewhere but cannot find it. I fixed a leak towards the rear where a hose hookup was and under the kitchen sink as well. I also replaced the pump and there are no leaks in that area. Where is the holding tank and water heater located so I can inspect those?
Thanks, Mike.

I would check the hose connection on the tank. The tank itself is under the cabin floor basically across from the refrigerator. Hang yourself upside down and look under the shelf where the FW pump is located. It's not easy to get to but is accessible. I changed my hose clamp because it was rusted through. The tank is part of the floor so you really can't "see" much of it, under the shelf looking towards the stern is about the most visible part.
Do you have water in the bilge area under the pump? I'm asking because it might not be fresh water. Is your pump coming on at a fairly regular basis to keep the pressure up? If no, then you might not have a freshwater leak.
Also under that same shelf is a hull drain. Mine leaked and my macerator backing plate leaked as well. I removed both last winter. The drain is pretty much useless because the water doesn't stay there when the boat is blocked, it flows under the mid cabin seating.
The hot water heater is in the mid cabin berth behind an access panel. The door closest to bulkhead as Sherman said.
