I have a beneteau first 38 (1984) and have a leak in the fresh water pressure line which is leaking about gal /hour into the bilge.
I can't find the source of the leak. The fresh water pump comes on about ever 1 minute to pressure up. It is in one of the water lines leading forward from the aft and is NOT at the hot water heater or the very aft compartments.
The leak is coming from somewhere between the engine compartment and the main cabin under the stairs, if you are familiar with the b38. This in under the fiberglass floor liner which I can't see or get to.
Is there a method to locate the leak?
Is there a schematic of the fresh water plumping / tubing for the B38 that anyone can release?
I was thinking of plugging the hot water line at the hot water heater and determining if the leak is in the cold or hot line. Any thoughts?
I have been working on it for 2 days and I'm complexed as to how to find the leaking fitting.
thanks. Bob
