Doing some work on my 2011 R25 replacing some mediocre switching, mostly mine, near the wash down spigot output led to the discovery of a slow leak where the .75 IO output line connects with the spigot. Not a lot of water but enough. The 90 degree bend forced into the woven nylon water line (not a good idea) to make the connection caused a bend/ rupture in the deformed barbed end of the black plastic spigot. This makes me wonder about the water damaged rear thruster I had to replace some time ago as well as the extra bilge water that was accumulating last season. This leak causes water to drip directly into the rear thruster compartment. Something for folks to check on your maintenance list. I am replacing with a hard turn 90 degree nylon fitting and other parts necessary to make the bend and connection. Pay close attention to your wash down pump cycling if not in use. This could be a sign you have this issue as well.
