Check the joint and the hydraulic system  of the garage door.
We have water coming in , strong healed with big waves and high speed ,seawater is turning up at the stern and enter the garage and go down in to the space under the garage floor.
In our 545 there is a automatic Wave bilge pump in a collect box. By a not working pump the salt water enter via the bilges under the after cabin in to the bilge of the kitchen and living 
We installed a extra alarm to know when the pump is working

I believe Hanse discovered this problem after a few years I think 🤔 
The extra pump is not on the electric diagram of the 470-540/545
The fuse is located in the fuse box of the direct (not switched) 12v line like the normal aut bilge pump , VHF radio etc.
Hope this helps

However, I wonder how it is possible for the water to get under the garage floor, which is supposed to be watertight

I've been dealing with this problem for years. The gasket of the garage door does not seal the door opening. Water enter the garage, and sips to the bilge through the inpection ports. Did not find yet a way to change it. I am waiting now for a new gasket I ordered and new inspection hatches.
