Water in bilge of Beneteau 361

[delandz]

I am getting freshwater, (not salty seawater!) draining into the bilge area between the door to the head and the trash cabinet, it seems to occur when I fill the aft water tank, does anyone have a similar issue?

I have had problems with access ports on the water tank, and getting the o-ring gasket to seal properly. Also, do you have an icebox or a fridge unit? A drain from either one of those might be a potential source of water (although my current fridge hose is inside the galley cabinet).

Also if you have an AC unit Beneteau just drains the condensate back into the bilge.

I had that EXACT same problem. Turned out the fill hose for the aft water tank had a crack in it, right at the bend as the hose turned forward to the water tank. Good luck chasing down the source of the water, hopefully it's as easy as mine was.
