Water accumulating in front of head on Sea Ray 240DA
The only thing on your boat that might be considered a gray water holding
tank is the shower sump. If that is what you are talking about there should
be a pump inside the sump. Sometimes they are automatic and sometimes you
need to flip a switch. There is a Sea Ray dealer in Quincy. Why don't you
give him a call?

I do actually hear the pump going on and off every so often. I'll
check the manual and try to track this thing down. Thanks for the
tip!
On a side note, I've only had this boat for 2 months and the problem
just started a few weeks ago. The only thing that has changed in the
last few weeks, that I have noticed anyway, is my grey water holding
tank has filled up. Do these tanks typically leak?
Thanks again!
Mike

Hello,
Recently water has started accumulating on the carpet in front of the
head the cabin of my Sea Ray Sundancer 240. I also noticed about a
1/2 inch of water next to the shower bilge pump. Does anybody have
any idea where this water might be coming from? I always leave my
cabin door shut with all windows closed and the mooring cover on.
There was another thread on this topic but there wasn't a solution
posted. You're help is greatly appreciated!
Do you hear the fresh water pump cycling on and off every so often,
even
when there are no taps open? If so, you have a leak somewhere in the
fresh
water system plumbing, probably from a tubing connector. If you have
the
owners manual for the boat, it should have a complete plumbing
schematic
included. This would inform you as to where the fresh water lines run
throughout the boat. If the cycling pump suggests a leak, you'll have
to
trace the tubing inside the cabin to find the leak. Sea Ray uses Whale
press-on connectors for the fresh water tubing for T-joints, 90 degree
elbows, and butt splices. I've had problems in the past with these
connectors leaking. If you find that one is leaking, it must be
replaced.
You can buy them from your Sea Ray dealer. They're not expensive.
Do you leave the fresh water pump powered up or pressured shore water
connected to the boat while away from the boat? Not a good plan if you
do.
That's how cabins can get flooded, and carpets get ruined.
