Need technical advice!

We had 4 to 6 gallons of Water per day (!) in our 2003 Santera; dealer supposer water coming in from drive shaft, mufflers or platform screws; we hope he fixed it by tightening screws and filling up silicone but haven't checked it yet.

Problem remainin is that the automatic bilge pump is located behind a barrier in front of the transmission. So it won't start pumping unless the water level passes the barrier. If that is the case, the bottom half of the transmission has been constantly lying in (salty) water. My idea was to drill a hole into the barrier, so that water might penetrate immediately through to the pump. A proper solution?

Thanks for your help!

By the way: The boat runs like hell with its 375 HP, pulls great and looks awesome!!!
