Re: Water collecting in forward bilge
If it's been raining, you may be getting some in through the anchor locker. I believe they're supposed to be isolated/sealed in the 355 and drain overboard but I have seen the odd one with a hole in the floor that I suspect were just not sealed properly at factory. This lead to rain water in the forward bilge, or sea water every time the anchor was hauled up or a trip in rough seas.
Also check your shower sump and ensure it's not leaking.
