Have you noticed how much the bilge is running?

We got back to the dock on our Sat/Sunday shakedown cruise to find the bilge running more than usual.

We start checking and the freshwater pump won’t keep pressure and there is water in the bilge. So we start the diagnosis by emptying the cockpit lazarette. It’s big and holds a lot of stuff.

We finally found the issue after about 30 minutes of looking for the break. One of the nylon/vinyl hose junctions popped loose and was spraying water all over the water heater compartment.

Now that’s fixed and we can head to the next issue. Making chocolate chip cookies.

What I thought I was looking for.
