Yesterday I noticed a trickle of water coming from under the engine just to the right of the bilge pump. I couldn't really see where it was coming from. Only does it with engine on and I was out for about 8 hours yesterday and the bilge never kicked on. Any guess to wear I should look first? Screenshot_20230903_115538_Google.jpg

Hopefully a cooling hose, either a clamp is lose with the hose not seated, or a pin hole in a cooling hose. With the engine running (in the water, on on the hose) can you use you phone to shoot video as you pan around trying to identify the source of the leak?

Is it warm ? It’s easy for the bilge to run and you don't notice. Dry the motor really well throw baby powder on that side and try to identify the exact leak.
