Default Forward Bilge area in 4600 scb stays wet all over!

Hey Gang,
The entire bilge compartment under the forward steps is constantly wet/moist, along with the cabin sole carpet under the steps/cover. It's as if it's being sprayed or splashed regularly. I've watched the shower pump and the vacuflush pump run without any visible leaks. Any clues on this?
Does the forward AC dump into this bilge?
I'm also using fresh water at a rate much higher than expected. Possibly related?

Thanks for any insights....
GP

The only thing in that area is the Master Head's vacuflush, raw water pump for the forward wash down and the shower box. I always have water in that area, but if you have some spaying going on, it should be easy to figure out.

Is it the raw water washdown pump hoses? If you turn that on from the breakerbox and you have a loose hose, that would def cause spraying!

Vacuflush in that area would sink if that was leaking anything!

I dont see the shower box "spraying" since its basically gravity feed from the shower and AC units. Maybe it could spray if the pump "out" hose was loose.

Let the shower run... turn your washdown on... if you have spaying getting the upper carpet wet, i'd think it was from one of those.

So the Forward AC condensation is supposed to into the Master's Showerbox? I'll have to check on that...
Thanks!

Both A/Cs flow into the same box I believe. Both showers too... That's one thing I like about the 4600, one shower box!! My Silverton had a forward and aft box.

FYI I found the source of the leak: The Forward AC Drain Line was leaking.
