refrig draining to bilge-clarification

[butchrobbins]

I am not talking about the inside of the refrigerator. When I defrost it, I use the pump to pump it out. That part is connected to a y-valve that alternates between the showers sump and the refrig.

What I think it might be is condesation that, in a home, goes into a heated pan to evaporate it, but can't do that in the boat and has to go somewhere.

Could it be that? How about the A/C?

refer condensate

On my 2003, the refer condenser is located in the starboard side lazerette all the way outboard and aft. There is a fresh air vent next to it as well. Have never seen any water accumulate there. I bet the water is coming from your A/C. Mine drains to the bilge as well, but this should also be a slow producer of water, and not cause excessive cycling of the bilge pump.
