Water on top of fuel tanks

[SEVEN]

I agree

I have had this problem on my 53
It was the rudder stuffing boxes. it is necessary to find the answer as water lying on top of the tanks can get into the fuel if there is the slightest leak round a fitting

Which tank, assuming you have forward and aft. My mystery water was from the ER wash down bib, where the line went under the hall. But if you have no pressure or water aboard...... sumps are in the bilges, throughulls at least on my boat are lower than the tank tops. 89, 65 MY stretch. So same boat internally.....Do you have the hallway or a single ER? Which hatch are you seeing the water under?
