My first boat was a 12 ft aluminum. Just upgraded
New boat is a 1965-69 (can't determine exact year)
Glastron V177 Swinger.
Mercruiser 120
I've done the basics new oils filter etc. Fixed a couple leaky hoses and a pesky reverse lock valve
Installed A new bilge pump and blower fan
Had it out today for the first drive and I have possibly a dumb question
Is it normal to have water coming into the bilge
Not a gush or huge flood by any means
Bilge pump has to run about every ten min and pumps for about 30 seconds to remove the water.
For the life of me I can't find were it's coming from.
(Not a lot of room with the engine cover on)
Seems okay at a stand still
Water comes in when driving. Don't see any leaks on anything motor related. Double checked the bilge pump and didn't seem to be leaking (although I didn't have any sealer of any kind on the plug)
Is this normal?
Should I just install an automatic float on the pump?
