I discovered the carpet under the seat cushions at the bow is stained and wet and but could not detect where it was coming from. Used litmus paper on the wet carpet and compared it to litmus paper dipped in the salt water and another one dipped in fresh water. Appears to be salt water. Thinking the trailering bow eye may be leaking because it is located right there under the carpet. After reading this post, may try running a hose in the anchor locker to see what happens.
I would take that bet it's your anchor locker. That's exactly what was happening on mine.
I ripped all the carpet out and replaced it after I fixed the anchor locker. Once it gets wet it's hard to get the mold smell out.
Well it appears you are correct. Did the garden hose test and sure enough, its the anchor locker. Pulled the anchor/chain/rode out, wiped and dried the locker. Left the access cover off in the cabin over night with a little heat and air flow on. Going down now to re-seal it. Thanks for the feedback.
