I wonder if any one else has experienced this problem. I have a 2007 2520SCMV. To the left of the helm is a hatch cover. When opened there is a part of the bilge that does not seem to be connected fore or aft. There is a macerator pump high in the bilge and a hose from the pump going to a seacock at the bottom. There is a porta potty on the boat but the holding tank can be pumped out or it can be diverted to the macerator pump and outflow seacock. There is no connection to the fore or afte bilge area or the anchor locker. The tube that connects those areas runs under this part of the boat and is glassed over. Now to the problem. I am constantly finding standing water in this area. The hatch cover is always " sweating" so I thought maybe it was condensation . The water is only about 2-3 inches deep and never gets any higher than that which leads me to believe it can't be coming in from that seacock. Does anyone share this setup/ problem ? I have sponged it out many times and also added a seal to the hatch cover but I still find after a few days, the water is there again. I have had other boats ( not Parkers) that had bilge pumps midship and was surprised that there is only one bilge pump on my Parker in the aft bilge. By the way, any water from the anchor locker goes back to the aft bilge and does not collect in the area I have the problem with. Thanks for any info.
