Aft bilge running at plane
#1
We were just on a long run from Charlevoix to Southwest Michigan. Boat ran fine, but higher than 2100 RPM and at plane in (especially in 3-5 foot seas) i noticed the aft bilge light would come on and run for about 1-2 minutes at a time. I checked everything including bilge before starting out....only a drop or two of water under the engine all else totally dry, and no signs that there was water previously. Manual bilge runs fine with light on/off as it should, so I've somewhat ruled out light/switch malfunction In heavy seas is this common? I checked strainers and they seem to be fine. Anything i should look for in terms of where water might be coming from? Thanks owners.
