Wondering if it’s normal for the bilge to work
2-3 times per hour when a boat is sitting idle & anchored in the water? Seems unusual to me. I’ve had it in the dealer once for them to try to find if there was a seal break to no avail.

If you have your boat on the trailer tilt it back using the trailer jack. Put 4 or 5 gallons in the engine compartment ( bilge pump off) Stand behind the boat to look for leaks.
