The only thing I can think of is the self bailing cockpit hose is leaking.

Did you check the hoses to and from the water tank. The water fill hose runs in the cabinet above the sink, and of course the sinks water supply and waste to the drain is under the sink.

Then there is always the port window that could be leaking.

Good luck

We've once had water under the sink but it was from a leak in the pressure water hose bringing water to the faucet. Scared my wife to death as she thought we were sinking. What happened is that the pressure water switch was on so the leaking line just emptied the tank right into the compartment under the sink, then the bilge via the floor....She screamed and I jumped on board and could hear the pump running so I hit the switch and shut off the pressure water..and the leak stopped...and all was well. If you don't have pressure water I'm not so certain what it would be. The little port behind the sink provides lots of light but is sealed really well at the factory. Is this an LE model with pressure water? If not, then everything I've said above is probably not helpful. Good luck, Pat

Checked the sink lines, the cockpit drain was clogged and the water was probably over the cockpit window because of the rain.
