mid cabin - forward bilge drain?
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:37 pm
I changed all of my sanitation hoses last week to try and eliminate my odor problem. Big improvement but still there a little bit.
It seems to be coming from the bilge area right in front of the holding tank, in front of the v berth. The vacu-flush pump happens to be located there so I'm suspicious.
I have cleaned out this part of the bilge but have no idea where the water is going? The boat is up on the hard with the bow a little higher. I used a hose today and flushed out this area and just behind it in front of the head where the vacu-flush tank is located.
I had my wife check and none of the water drained out the back of the boat. I was expecting to see it travel through the engine room floor.
Is it pooling up somewhere? I don't see another center bilge hatch in the cabin unless it's under the mid cabin floor.
thanks,
Bob
