This past weekend I noticed coffee-like water in my forward bilge. No smell and consistency of water. Any idea what this is and the cause? Oil? There wasn't a lot - not even enough to trigger the bilge pump - but enough to make me go hmmmm?!
Thanks everyone!

It's most likely stagnet water leaking from your anchor locker. There may be dirt/dust in the forward blige mixing with rain water.

I had the same thing in mine. I don't know why, other than my shower sump pump didn't work when I got the boat in 2011. The sump overflowed and collected in the forward bilge. I cleaned it up and dried it ou, and it seems fine unless there is a very heavy rain or the sump quits working. Like you, I was concerned about the color, but pretty much ruled out a leak in the toilet plumbing.
