I bought a 94 this year and had a similar issue with water in the forward bilge that needed to be pumped out.

In my boat there is the shower sump which handles the drain water from the shower and the condensate from the AC system.  The box contains a bilge and float switch setup.  Water enters the sump box and is discharged over the side when the level is high enough.  If the switch and/or the bilge do not work then it would be reasonable to guess that the water would overflow the box and fill the forward bilge space.

In my boat next to the shower sump is automatic bilge pump that pumps out the space.  It is not plainly visible under the opening.  You have to feel for it.  I followed the bilge drain hose back to the pump.

In my case there was no power to either the bilge pump or the shower sump.   Perhaps you have something similar going on.

The freshwater pump is a different animal.  It pressurizes the freshwater system and is not connected to the shower sump or the bilge unless there is a leak.

If there is power to the sump box then check the bilge pump and switch operation.  Those should operate perfectly especially if you will be leaving the AC on for a few weeks before returning to the boat.

Best,
