2000 Sea Ray Sundeck 210. Mercruiser inboard. Last July, I used the boat once (I dry sail it). I got a trickle of water in the engine bay, but the bilge pump kept up. In the spring, I checked all the little blue plugs- I have all 5 in and tightened them. Yesterday, I used the boat (first time this year) and again heard the trickling. This time, the bilge fuse went, and I raced the boat back into port and pulled it out. I let a lot of water out of the bilge. The water came up pretty high in the engine bay, maybe a 5-6 inches below the fuel filter. I replaced the fuse but need to fix this leaking problem.
1) Can anyone tell me why you think the bilge fuse would pop? I cleaned it out but looked fine.
2) Can anyone help me diagnose this? What could this trickle be? I checked the bellows (rubber boats on the out drive and they all look fine).
Thank you!
