I get water under sink all the time. Checked for leaks from fittings off of freshwater tank. Nothing found. I have a washdown hose off the tank. Any advice

Loose drain fitting at the sink or hull connection?
 
I had this happen on my 25. I traced it back to water leaking from the window. It was always after a big rainy spell.

I was looking for hoses or sink connections too but I think it was rain water....never 100% sure though. I tried to replicate the problem by spraying the windows for a long time but they never leaked! But then other times I'd come to boat after a couple of rainy days and I had water behind the wallas stove area.
 
I had this happen on my 22. Ended up being the stove drain thruhull fitting leaking. It's usually above calm water, but in waves, the water was splashing in around the thruhull drain where the gasket had partially worn away. Removed and reinstalled fitting with 5200. No more leak! :) Colby
 
Another thought... Where the deck and hull are joined, rivets are used (I believe it is both chemical and mechanical seam), then sealed from the inside. You will see little bumps at about a 6-8 inch interval. You might look at the inside of the hull to see if there is any sign of water trails.
 
Do you have a wallas stove? Check the through hull fitting for the exhaust. I used high temp gasket sealer to seal where the exhaust goes through the hull.
 
I have had some leakage after a rough crossing, waves 2+ feet, and can hear it gurgling occasionally. Thought it was the sink drain, but that hose was always dry. Turns out is is the Wallas exhaust vent hose. Now I have a plug for that when I'm in anything over 1 foot waves.
