2004 Rinker 342 Fresh Water leaking

onislandtime

Fill fresh water tank. Seems to hold water for a couple days then I have a wet rear berth compartment and no water in tank.

What should I check first before disassembling the rear berth to get to the tank?

The hose clamps on the outlet line. Sounds silly but you'd be amazed how many leaks are that simple.

mine was the connection at the shower, i was able to take out the self in the lower part of the shower and fix if through there.

@Willhound is that found through the inspection port under the icemaker?

My other "smh" nothing is wet except the enclosed compartment that seems to be a fiberglass tub compartment. The shower sump and mid bilge pump area is all dry.

It’s easy to get to that tank through the rear storage compartment in the aft cabin. Just pull the screws and the side wall on the stbd side comes out so you can see the tank.

Do you hear your freshwater pump coming on at any time? If not, then the issue is more likely a connection at or very close to the tank.

@DanD2 thats how i knew I was out of wtaer, I could here the pump running

@onislandtime yes your pump would run if tank is empty however....did you notice pump cycling PRIOR to tank being empty?
