When getting my Cutwater C-24 ready for our Memorial Day trip to Oxford MD I found somewhere between 3 to 4 gallons of water in the forward storage units under the bed cushions. Fortunately all I had stored in the units was the metal table post. Anything else would have been ruined or moldy at best. I keep my boat on a boat lift all winter so if you leave your boat on a trailer you might not have the same issue.

Condensation in C-24 Forward Storage Compartments

Thanks for the reply. I considered that as well. There are no indications that I have a leak. I would assume there would be streaks down the walls from the in-cabin windows or mold on the cushions. We put damp bags in the cabin several times a winter and they almost immediately fill up. My plan is to monitor the storage units at the end of the summer. Thanks again.

It's quite possible that the water is coming from the anchor rode locker. I would start with that and the windless through-hole, but that's less likely considered the 3 - 4 gallons. If it were coming from the forward hull vents/windows, you'd likely see stains on the wall carpet.
