Help Im sinking in drinking water

[Patrick17430]

I recently added a float switch to the bucket sized bilge in my 2000 Beneteau 321 and am I glad I did. Its pumping out the water that's been filling my bilge the last few days It started with my fresh water pump going on every 36 seconds.( I timed it and tasted it ) I have gone through the entire boat hoping to locate the source of the water with no luck. I have these photos showing the water that is coming out of the hose located in the bilge. I cant tell where this hose starts because of the hull liner. Water is dribbling from the hose that my finger is on in the photo. the other is the bilge discharge hose. Do you have any idea where this hose goes to ?

bilge discharge hose will go to an above water through hull. Probably towards the rear... but walk around the boat and look for a fitting...

Check all fittings and fixtures. Don't forget the fresh water pump itself, the water heater and all the mixers includying the cockpit shower. The great majority of the leaks occur at some hose connection.

don't forget to check the bottom drain and pressure relief on the water heater

Do you have two water tanks on this boat? Maybe it inner-connects the tanks?

Freeking boats !

It has one tank only. The only place left to look is under the H/W tank. I'm going to have to take it out to see if water is present under the unit. If that's not it, Its got to be leaking between the hull somewhere inaccessible.
