I've been getting fresh water in my bilge on our 2025 R27. The fresh water pump is not kicking on and off so I don't think it's a leak in a line. No rain either. Any thoughts?

I Discovered the water is coming from a factory hole under the ac pump. What is this? Tug water leak.jpg
 
The hot water tank will drain water if it’s experiencing excessive pressure. Also, take a look at the hoses coming off the freshwater tank inside the galley cabinet, under the white removable floor panels. Once the panels are removed, look forward toward the bow.

If what's experiencing excessive pressure? How do I stop it?
 
The hot water tank will drip water when heating up if it needs to release some pressure. Nothing to be concerned about. It is normal, but check all the fittings at the hot water tank for leaking fittings.
 
Are you seeing a lot of water or very little water?

It's a decent amount. It is steadily dripping out of that hole. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I had already checked the hot water tank lines because I had a drip there once before. But with that leak, the water pump was kicking on for a second when no faucets were on. That's what got me looking before. The pump's not kicking on this time. Could it be coming from the AC? The boat has been sitting on the dock for about three weeks with the air on. It's been very hot so it runs continuously.
 
No, your ac condensation pan drains into the shower pump box and the outlet for the raw water from the ac is on the port side inside the V-berth cabinet. Check below the battery inside the Stbd cockpit hatch. Do you see water below the battery?
