Had unexplained water entering aft bilge spaces on a 52 sovran/express. Turned out to be coming in through a dinghy davit socket in the swim platform. Was hard to find. Another member had a similar problem as well. I am not very familiar with the 40 express but if it anything like the 52, the platform is open to the aft bilge spaces. May be worth putting a camera back there or look to see if there are any telltales of water getting in there. The platform probably has a seam under the rub-rail that is vulnerable to piling strikes.
