I hope Peggie Hall still has her ears on for this one....We now have a Seawind 1160 catamaran. Recently, we have been having issues of the forward vanity under the sink filling up with water and then spilling over into (thankfully) the shower sump, which makes up the sole of the head. I thought is was rain catching somewhere coming down the mast, as it did not do this when we wash the boat.
I had the boat yard replace the faucet on this vanity, and it is now even worse. But this time, no rain, and even though the fresh water system was switched off, there was a reduction of about 25 liters of water from the water tank, and the head sole was absolutely flooded. I was able to look inside the vanity, and saw drips coming off of the pex fittings that couple to the hot, cold and diverter to the faucet (not sure which one, because they are clustered together).
I ran the faucet with the switch off to create an air gap and will check it tomorrow. The water tank is under the setee, and the vanity is up higher. Both are above the water line. So I am suspecting that the water tank vents may be clogged with spider webs or swallow nest mud, both of which we get a lot of in the summer time in the Sacramento River delta. I have reached out to the builder to confirm the location of the tank vents.
Thoughts?
