Its a pain in the a** and stinks like hell under ther, a friend of mine has a 97 and it stays bone dry. I find it interesting that my 03 has a pump in there and his doesn't. I guess fountain knows about it too.

My 47 has the same problem. I have no idea where the water comes from or where it goes once the bilge pump pumps it out.

Is it the cooler/fridge drain? I have heard that some just drain into the bilge.

I have a 1997 35'. Had the problem once. There was a very heavy rain storm. I thought it might of been wind driven rain into the bilge and rough water caused it to drain into the cabin.

I have no reason to believe my theory holds water...pun intended.

I have a 1997 35 with a single step and it stays bone dry, Although a friend of mine has a new 29 single and it filled full of water I had to put a small pump in there to pump out the water. We could not find where the water is comming from. let us know what you find out.

I have a 98 35 and the same problem. I do have a pump in that area and thought maybe it was coming in from the discharge hose, so I put a inline check valve and its been dry ever since.

I also keep getting water in the bilge area (engine compartment).
have'nt figured that one out yet.
