Wet floor

We have a 2003, 342. Woke up this morning to a totally saturated floor mostly in front of the bathroom door, I believe it's NOT coming from the fresh water supply, my thoughts is that is is raw water for the toilet, there's no odor , so I know it's not sewage leaking, thoughts on the problem and solutions ???? The storage compartment in the aft is just slightly damp!

    1.  Check the shower sump
    2.  Check for leaks at the AC raw water pump
    3.  Check your toilet and AC strainers for leaks
    4.  Is there water in your mid-berth bilge?  I had leaks in the hoses from the shower sump outlet and the outlet tube from the bilge pump. 

    Any of the above will get that area wet.  Been there!

    Remove the port side aft berth cushion. The A/C pump plus the strainers for the A/C and toilet are there.  The shower sump is visible too. 

    The float/pump in the shower sumps can go bad and overflow.

    Is it wet in the shower / A/C pump areas?  If dry those places, I would remove the shelf insert in the shower. That gives you access to the raw water pump for the toilet and both thru hull drains for the shower and mid berth bilge pump.  Cycle each and look for leaks in the corregated tubes.

    Could be the hose/thru hull for the kitchen or bathroom sink.

    Just an odd thought. Maybe you had water in the mid bilge and when launching it sloshed forward.

    That's a thought, the water was dark, like Pepsi, thought is was sewage, but we drained it good, then added antifreeze,  it also had no older to it, Strange,

    Problem solved, the water pipe to the shower was cracked, the water must have mixed with the previous owners over flowed coffee when it got to the floor.  Lol
