anchor locker drain/vent
This has me stumped for any number of reasons including the water traveling up!
Comments, causes and cures welcome.

Re: anchor locker drain/vent
I would not think you'd get "a fair amount" of water from an anchor locker or a rode locker, except when you have just completed pulling anchor and it's all wet. Otherwise you shouldn't be getting more water in either compartment.

Re: anchor locker drain/vent
Since I can not trace the white hose, I don't know where it goes. Like I mentioned earlier, the water has to travel up to reach the drain/vent.
I refer to it as a drain/vent because it's a Perko fitting which I think is typically a vent. But this one has water coming out. By fair amount I mean a steady drip-drip-drip of water.

If that is in fact your freshwater tank vent and the shore water is filling your tank over full....maybe getting by the pump check valve......just spitballin here, ya never know...

Re: anchor locker drain/vent
You may have a second check valve, but inside the pump are the valves that make the pump work, but also prevent pressure on the output side from leaking back to the input side.
