1995 Sea Ray 330DA. 2 floor compartments in the cabin.
Forwad one has always been dry. Over the past few weeks it has started to slowly fill up with water.
Today, we dried it out and went for a 1 hour cruise. We stopped to anchor. There was approximately 1 cup of raw water in the compartment after the 1 hour cruise (on plane).
I looked up in the compartment with a flash light. Water is seeping through, on the port side, where the side wall meets the floor. Ir's a very slow leak, more like a seap.
Towel dried it and anchored out for about 3 hours. When we got back to the dock, about a cup of raw water was there again.
It leaks worse when under power. Sitting at the dock for a week results in maybe a half cup of water.
She is listing to the port side too, more so than normal we think.
I can see a white plastic hose, approx 1" in diameter coming through the side wall of this compartment, though it's dry. This hose does not exit the hull, though I cannot find the other end.
While anchored I felt my hand around the bottom of the boat and could not feel anything odd.
My guess is water is seeping through the fiberglass. This compartment is only about 8" deep so I am guessing this is not the bottom of the boat.
Any suggestions on what to check out or what the source of the leak may be?
