A little puzzled?
I have a 99 straight inboards. When we're offshore trolling (calm water) the aft bilge kicks on about every 5 min and pumps out a good bit of water. It will continue to do this all day long.
When were at dock and sitting, no real water in the bilge other than your normal 1/2 inch from washing the boat, rain, etc.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the shaft seals. Their dripless shafts and I've run the boat at dock, pulled the fish boxes and looked in the engine room and don't see any water comming in anywhere.
I still need to pull the boxes and look at everything while underway, but has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
Appreciate the input...
