Thanks,

Hi Greg,  I had a 35 Open with the same problem.  I went through many of the same checks that you have, only to find the source of the leak was because the A/C drain hose was not connected properly. It was suppose to drain to the mid bilge pump.  Not sure if the 36 Open has the A/C under the dinette like the 35 but I hope this helps. Good Luck! Tom

Thanks Tom, my 36 does have the a/c unit under the dinette, I will look at this to see if it is creating the moisture.
