I noticed that my bilge pump would activate every 30 minutes or so for about 5 seconds or so and dump a good couple liters of water out. If I didn't have the wife and guests on the boat I would have opened her all up and investigated it.
I have the boat in the garage now and opened up around the engine as much as possible and my first suspicion is the depth sounder piece as it's very wet around it. Can anyone point me in the direction as to how to remove it, clean it, re-seal it and reinstall it?
The other potential culprit is a leaky front centre ballast bag and the ballast intakes... are the ballast water scoop intakes easy to take out, clean, put a new seal and reinstall? I'll do some research but I'd just like it if someone can point me in the right direction. ..
Back of the boat is very dry as well as the front of the boat. All the moisture seems to be coming from right around the engine.
