Bilge Schematic - 361

[BananaToe]

I seem to get about 1 litre of water in my bilge every week or two- Here's what I know:

It's fresh water (phew)
It may be rain water OR holding tank
It collects in the bilge midships - ultimately would travel to deep bilge, but it starts in the section between galley and head.
I can go weeks with little to no water, or I can get some in only a few days (leading to the rain / deck wash exercise)

In any case- I'd like to know if anyone has a schematic of the bilge layout on the 361 (2000) I think it would help me trace the origin a little easier...

Have you checked the pressurised accumulator tank? It sounds like a problem I had in the tank.

Does your icebox or reefer unit drain to the bilge? Just a thought.....
Good luck.

When we purchased our 361 we found fresh water in the same area. We found water was coming from three sources:
1. The plastic stops at the ends of the genoa track were cracked and admitting water whenever it rained.
2. The water heater had corroded through at the bottom and was leaking. The clue here was that the freshwater pump would activate for a second or two every 15 minutes or so.
3. The shower drain was not properly sealed to the shower pan.
Writing this took far less time than tracking down these leaks. Good luck in your search!

Check also the forward fresh water tank. Fille it full, check level with a stick then recheck level next day..if it is low thatn it is a crck in the fiverglass FW tank. It happen to me
