I noticed I am getting some water in the bilge while I am out on the water. I checked both bellows and both are on tight. The bellows was put on last summer and the shift bellows the season before. Can't tell where it is coming in so I was wondering, where should I start? Yesterday I put the plug in and put some water in the bilge to see if that leaked, it didn't, that I could see.

Looking for the best avenue to find where the water is getting in. It isn't a ton of water, it is not enough to make the pump turn on. Yet still it is concerning.

Thanks for any help!

Run your motor on muffs and make sure it's not leaking from the motor. Check the water drain plugs and the tubes connected to the water circulation pump.
