We consistantly have water in our forward bilge. There are no leaks in the water lines, water heater does not leak, water pressure tank has been replaced, and water tank does not appear to be leaking. Does anyonehave an idea of where the water could be coming from?

Hi, I've a 10 meter internatonal re-powered with 2 x 325 hp yanmars diesel and sometime I've the same problem. During this summer I used my boat for 110 hours and I understood that water can be generated by the left prop's hole, so it runs by the inferior blidge untill water tank zone...I suppose.
In my boat water is quite less, but I've to chek left prop's hole this winter when boat will be on land.

I have found a separation of the fiberglass in the anchor locker. We re fiberglassed that. I did notice that the anchor locker does not have a drain. Has anyone installed one in it? If the anchor locker gets wet it holds the water now but before it went to the bildge.
