I've put around 22/23 hrs on my boat this year and my bilge has not had enough water in it to run once yet. I've also spent several 6+ hours on the lake without the bilge running. You should check other thru-hull bolts for leakage. Check rudder port and all the swim deck mounts. You must have a leak some where...... Granted a little bit of water is fine but it sounds like you have a bigger leak. I would also double check your dripless shaft seal while your on the lake too.

I always have water in my bilge. If the boat is in the water all day my pump will come on at least twice. I feel like the water is coming in like was mentioned through bolts and such. My drippless is just that drippless, I have never seen any water coming through it, so the water has to be coming through some where else, although when on the lift I don't see any water dripping from anywhere else. For now and the past I just live with it.

I think you would be surprised the amount of water attached to riders coming in and out.
I'll check all this the 4th and see what I see. I take on a lot of water - dogs, kids, etc.
