I wanted to update my water leak issue. Turns out the ladder bumpers were just one of three leaks on the boat. The major contributor to the salt water found in the engine room was the trim tabs. I have the Volvo Blade type trim tabs that project straight down. This is why I would only see water after running at plane. The force of the water against the projected blade was causing the water to be forced into the boat through the electrical pass-through in the transom. This appears to have been caused by a gasket failure, perhaps due to insufficient sealer application at time of installation. After replacing both units no more salt water leaks.
I also discovered a fresh water leak caused by a leaking T fitting on top of the port side fresh water saddle tank. After filling the tanks the water in the fill lines would back flow through a crack in this fitting, approx. two gallons or so then stop when the water level dropped below the crack. Until I searched for this leak I thought the boat only had one water tank not three. Anyway replaced the fitting no more leaks.
Again, thanks to everyone for all their suggestions in tracking this down.
