Im down to Mid cabin blocking bulkheads aft and under the toilets.
Do these toilets have access to salt water to flush, I apologise! they have not been used since I got her
Both bathrooms have original carpet. Is access available to these areas? or do I remove carpet, toilets, to get access. hehe
Any advise is honered. (about 24 gallons a day leak) good pumps

rear bulkhead has your rudder stuffing boxes, these are notorious for leaking (least on mine) under your beds, the shaft stuffing boxes. under salon floor the intakes for you genset (if you have one) take out your front stairs( they are held in place with 2 eyehooks) and look down to see if the water is flowing from the rear, the hoses and holding tank are visable from there. there is nothing to see under the heads. check back once you have done this

double post (site jammed)

Both eng. shut down for na/cl/h20 gen set visable, both through hull steering and v-drive packing beautiful. front hatch floor open, water does floe forward, but it's the lowest point?

sorry I am Canadian and do not understand code

water tank cracked? had that issue on my boat, had shore water hooked up that auto filled my tanks and has a crack in it.

just givin ideas here, that or try to disconnect the fresh water hose altogether as you might have a bit of back pressure that might have cracked some interior plumbing

Fresh water supply not connected, and 25Gal @ 24hr X a fortnight of salt water bilge discharge, not fresh. it's between bathroons,center hold visable and dry on genset/h20 heater/ marine AC, platform, weird manual baloon pump, all dry, cannot see underneath them, 3/4 marine plywood platform. Under both bathrooms is not visable yet. Im going for that next. Thank you all

have you checked the hoses on the genset? the seacock to allow the cooling water to enter?

also if you go into your aft cabin take the 3 drawers out just next to the 2 stairs leading to the salon, this will allow you access to the bottom of your boat check if the water is from there, and have you taken the front stairs to look under the genset platform? From there you can also see under your forward head

Thanks all who helped, the rear head brass throu-valve was shut, beautiful firm green brass, slightly below valve stem was, (and i quote "was", a steel zrk fitting ,decomposing and hanging in hardened grease and leaking like hell.
put a temp bolt in place, leak gone.
