Its quite possibly under a quarter berth or locker nearby.

Nearby what? This is a large boat impossible to follow pipes everything is covered, so you, like myself don't know.

Hello, Makeme:

Well, my guess would be nearby to the water pump(s). And, yes, you may have to take apart a lot of *stuff* to follow your plumbing. But the alternative is spending lots of money to a pro who will tear things up less carefully than you would, while charging you over $100/hr, and who may or may not solve your problem in a timely fashion, possibly not to your satisfaction.

In the future, please don't interrupt someone else's thread to ask your question, but start your own. You might also consider including your general location and information about your boat in your profile. It will help members to tailor their advice to your location and vessel.

Ahh.. its a 43ft stink pot, assumed it was a sailboat as this is a sailing forum however, as Ann said "seek and ye shall find".. its a boat, everything is covered but there are clues.
Or you could get a manual here..
