Fuel fill hose was rotted on mine, same issue with fumes in cabin after fillup

Actually I would start by removing the bilge pump to get a better look at where it is originating from. The bilge pump base is screwed to the hull make sure they are caulked also

I have seen that color from soaked wood . If it is not the bilge pump hose. The bilge plug should be behind the bilge pump and it looks like it’s running from that direction. Check the plug and the fitting may need to be resealed. Check all screws and fittings along the transom to make sure...
