    coffee brown bilge water?

    i have noticed that over time every time i take out the boat the water coming out of the bilge when i pull the plug the water gets darker and darker. today i took it out and it looked like coffee. now i have not noticed a smell. my motor is an outboard so that's not an issue. any ideas?
