How do I properly inspect my intermediate bearings to see that they are functioning properly? I see no leaking when running on water in my driveway but I hear that they only leak under load?.. I don’t notice my bilge running while anchored and have no idea if it runs while I’m driving, but there is always a small amount of water in my bilge. 2011 242 LS
 
You can run the boat with the engine hatch open - probably the easiest way to do so. If they're leaking, you'll see water coming from that area.

Most likely the water you're seeing is coming from your anchor drain not being properly sealed, or water coming up through the cleanout ports and over/into the access hatch area (and then down into your transom).
