On my boat, a small amount of water accumulates at the low point closest to the engine and immediately forward of the fuel tank in a low point. I have removed the quarter berth platform, exposing the tank and all surrounding areas. There is no sign the water is moving forward along the tank or entering from above and migrating from the hull in the area of the dorade vent just aft of the electrical panels to the low point where it collects. Areas under the deck hardware - winches, stanchions - appear dry, and I rebedded the dorade vent thinking it was suspect.
It has been suggested that the moisture is coming from condensation around the fuel tank. The weather this past week has put that thought to rest - it is clear there is water coming from somewhere. Here are a couple of pictures:
(Sorry the rotation on the photos is off...)
As mentioned, the only water around the tank is at the low spot viewed via the cut-out in the area above the stained cabin sole.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
