I have clean clear water that accumulates in the bilge compartment at base of mast and the one adjacent to it towards stern. The water is clean and clear so not lake water. My bilge pump compartment collects some water too but not much. The water seems to seep in until it hits a certain level (head pressure) and then that it. Bilge pump never kick on. I'm going to do the kool aid test on my fresh water tanks to eliminate them as sources.
I've read on this site and others the older C320s have a rather goofy bilge system. The boat is not sinking...bilge never comes on...I reset all chain plates last year so its a mystery.
Has anyone else had this similar experience? I've contacted Catalina and they say to drill holes to ensure all compartments drain to bilge pump compartment but I'm a bit nervous drilling that close to the hull.
Any ideas?
