What this video covers

A freshwater leak develops in the head of a cruising boat while the primary captain is away.1:27 The leak originates from a white supply hose that chafes against a hole in the floorboard, causing a constant misting spray behind the toilet.3:01 Upon discovering the hissing sound, the crew shuts off the main freshwater valve to the head to prevent flooding.2:38 To maintain toilet functionality, the crew uses a shower head to manually fill the bowl with water for flushing.2:47 The repair requires replacing the chafed hose and addressing the underlying design flaw where the hose rubs against the bulkhead. Shutting off the main water supply when leaving a boat unattended prevents potential sinking from minor plumbing failures.
