- Mainship 37 Motor Yacht
We have a 1996, Mainship 370 Motor Yacht (not to be pretentious, that's what they called it). Big white tennis shoe style, not a trawler style. I have four vent caps on the hull. One fuel and one waste, about midship port side. One water vent, midship starboard side. I replaced all three of those last year so I know how they're plumbed, nothing complicated, just vent caps, single hoses to each tank. However, I have have a water tank vent cap port side aft, right next to the swim step stairs. I can't access the back side without dismantling the wall in the aft berth, so I don't know how it's plumbed. So here's the question:
Why on earth would water dribble out of that vent cap when I'm connected to shore water? The water tank is only half full. Steady dribble, maybe two gallons an hour. I turn off the shore water, it stops. Does that line drain the ice maker on the upper deck too maybe? I'm stumped, without taking out the berth wall. Thanks.
