Hi I’ve had a 315 for a couple of years but recently have found a leak which I traced to a faulty pump and accumulator, which I have now replaced and all seems to be working. I think the previous leak had been ongoing for quite a while. I found water in the bilge where the bilge pump is located under the companionway, which I removed. A few days later a little more had come back. When I lifted the panel under the companionway , I could see a little water was coming from the hole to the adjoining under floor section, which is adjacent to the galley. I can’t seem to lift this panel as it’s under the galley. Is there anyway if accessing this as I’m sure that is where the residual water is sitting. I’ve checked under the saloon panels and they are all dry. Any advice appreciated.

Hello, I also had a leak there but for my part it was because of the engine's anti-siphon. I did not succeed in dismantling the floors you are talking about and I mopped through the trap door under the kitchen and through the small hole that leads to the bilge pump

The shower head on the stern can silently leak! - I have a on-off tap under the bunk to isolate the shower attachement now.

To get the the area under the galley, remove the trays and all the sole panels around the area - there are from memory a couple of screws holding the panel in place and check there are no screws internal holding the galley in place . It is easier with two people, if one lifts the galley up it is possible to slide the sole panel out from under the galley.

A bit late but just saw your post on stern Shower. In 2021 when I bought my 315 [2007] the stern shower head was leaking; my guess was frozen and cracked. I dont use it so blanked off the supply. I over winter afloat in East Cowes Marine. I have never had temperatures in the boat low enough to freeze, but just maybe the shower head on the stern could freeze give freezing winds?
