I have a Beneteau 411 year 2000.
If I fill the main thank under the bed on the front with water while the sail boat is on the cradle, the thank leaks. The bildge pump starts very often. When the boat is in the water the leak is minimal ant the bildge pump starts few time per day.
Any suggestion on what to do. The bed seams to be fixe without any acces to remove it?
I would appréciate any good suggestion
Thanks

Find the source of the leak first. It might be in the line or in the tank. Hopefully it's the line.

Find the leak ...

I'm with Rick on this one. Find the leak first.

The seam around the tank top had a pin hole leak in the sealant. I had to make sure the tank was full, remove the v-berth cushions and as much of the support decking as I could to see where the water was coming from.

I suspect you may have a similar leak. The hull will flex differently while on the cradle than while in the water.
