I have a 2006 278Vista, I have a nearly constant accumulation of water in the front bilge, under the floor cover in the galley. It creates a 'moisture' in the cabin - a real problem. I am trying to think where water can enter (rain). Inside my most forward V-compartment, the carpet that lines it seams wet, and I am thinking the rain may be running down my top deck into my anchor chain locker. There seems to be NO lip that prevents rain or over-spray from entering the anchor locker. I removed all my rode and chain, the drain holes are not blocked, but when the rode piles up in there, maybe that is blocking? I removed all my rode and chain, put water in the locker, the drain holes are an inch above the bottom of the locker, it seemed to hold the water.
Has anyone had a problem with rain water intrusion? Did you find out where is was coming from? I know it is rain, I keep it in salt water, the water in the bilge is freshwater.
