Our Mainship 40 has two relatively new AC units installed under cabinets in the main parler and under the forward berth (not in bilge is the point). After Running both AC units for a couple days in relatively humid conditions, the carpet on a couple small floor hatches in the aft cabin became wet. It started just around the edges until the whole 12 x 12 hatches are soaked. There is no leak from overhead and the surrounding carpet is dry.
My thought is that the carpet wrapped hatches are so tight that the moisture trying to come up from the bilge (as humidity will always try to equalize between the conditioned air above and the more humid air in the bilge) is getting trapped at the hatch edges.
Anyone else ever have this happen or have other thoughts?
Thanks a Kyle
