Need help guys..Im fairly new to boats so take it easy on me. I purchased a 96 Caravelle 21 ft last year. During the year last year i might have noticed the bilge running once or twice in a 8 hour day of use. As the year wore on i noticed it running alittle bit more often. I put it back in the water for the first time this passed weekend and everything seemed just fine until i pulled the front of the boat up on a sand bar to let the wife get out and walk around. After being there no more than 2 min the bilge pump kicked on and i didn't think much about it until it didn't shut off after about two min, when i open motor compartment i had water about 6 to 8 inches deep. So i decided to just back in boat to get back to launch to get boat on tralier which was almost a big mistake. After about 10 min the bildge caught up and ran about every 20 min after, when i got home i checked all the bellows and found two 1/4 holes in the exhaust bellows. I have read it will or wouldnt sink a volvo, but i was almost a believer that it might. What should i look for that would be letting in that much water that fast??
Thanks for your time Scott
