Trying to find the entry point for rainwater that ends up in bilge. Found a couple minor sources at electric cablemaster area (port) and fresh water in fitting (starboard) but getting much more water than that in bilge. It collects at mid bilge pump and will be 3+ gallons or so after a good rain or really thorough washing. Any hints for suspect areas based on your experience?

Check your bow pulpit anchor hardware and see if water is getting behind the anchor locker liner.

Only water is in engine room area, forward bilge is dry. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that model but every Tiara I've owned has all bilges 'connected' and regardless of where water enters, it will all collect in the lowest spot, which is often times the engine room.
Something to consider.
