Maybe my turn for new boat time

The pump action seems normal. I'm thinking your water pump is a pressure pump, as are many in boat domestic water systems. With the breaker on, the pump will go on to achieve a certain amount of pressure in the plumbing lines (usually 45 psi) and then stop.

If there is no water in the tank or if one of the fixtures is turned on, the pump will continue to run.

The bracket is there but don't see a bolt

Wow, I've never found where the extra bolt in the bilge came from.
