Water Supply Access from Cabin to Flybridge?
I have a Carver 350 Mariner 2001. Does anyone know how to get physical access to water supply tubing going from the water pump up to the sink in the flybridge? I can only get access up until behind the cabin sink, no visibility/access to going vertical. Trying to get access to the tubes going vertical to that sink. Appears I have a lead on the water supply to that sink.
Many thanks in advance

Re: Water Supply Access from Cabin to Flybridge?
Thanks for the ideas, already been behind the jump seat, nothing leaking from that angle. My only reason for thinking it is the vertical tubing is all other areas including the hot water heater are dry as a bone, but the forward bilge is filling up slowly (thank god for the auto bilge pump).
I can see behind the cabin sink, nothing to find there, the only other place I can think of is the vertical pipes upwards has cracked and is leaking, therefore filling the forward bilge area and setting of the bilge pump.
Tomorrow I am emptying out the water from the tank, filling it a little, adding red food dye to see where the colour goes.
I simply cannot find a way to get at those two vertical rising pipes to see if they are cracked.
And nowhere else is obvious at all. I've ripped apart the rest of the boat tracing the lines. BTW the rear shower lines etc are all dry as a bone as well...
Again any hints appreciated.
Ripping my hair out
Oh BTW the boat is going up for sale on Monday, great time to have a leak

Totally different design on this particular boat.
GFB, have you checked behind the microwave and the hanging locker wall........these liner style boats can be a challenge , I sympathize...
If it turns out to be behind all that stuff.....get some new hose and fish it thru, just leave the old up section there, chances are the old will be zip tied back there somewhere unreachable.....you will only need one line as there is no hot water up there.
Your dye test should be fruitful though, good luck with your sale.

Pump is not cycling anymore and the leak seems to have stopped.
So no further action on this one, thanks everyone!
