Seeing a small amount of water in the bilge and can't find the source. Could it be the A/C or Refrigerator condensation being drained into the bilge? Or, do these boats Venturi into the raw water discharge. Thanks

Both my A/C units drain their condensation into the bilge.

On my 2003 38 Open the Air Conditioners (have 2 units) drain into the shower sump pump. Don't know about the refrigerator or even if it has a condensation drain.

It appears that my boat drains into the shower sump as well.  Thank you for the observation and reply.

My 2002 38 also has both A/C units draining into the shower sump.

Most Tiaras will drain the condensate into the shower sump. As for mysterious water in the bilge, you may have a leak. I have seen all kinds of leaks over the years from fresh water tank leaks, to hose leaks to cracked barb fittings and loose hose clamps. figure out if it is fresh or salt and go from there.

Good Luck!
